Development, Validity and Reliability of the Avoidance of Sports Activities Photo Scale (ASAP-Shoulder-Scale) in Athletes With Shoulder Pain.

ABSTRACT: Fear-avoidance beliefs and kinesiophobia can contribute to shoulder pain-related avoidance behavior. In athletes, symptoms may only become apparent during training and competition. To identify shoulder pain-related avoidance behaviors, a standardized screening tool is needed. Avoidance of Sports Activities Photo Scale (ASAP-Shoulder-Scale) will demonstrate strong psychometric properties. Cross-sectional study. Level 3. A total of 162 athletes with shoulder pain were recruited for this study. The ASAP-Shoulder-Scale was developed through an item bank compiled from the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), with consensus reached by an expert panel. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess test-retest reliability, along with the s
