In 1980, a major study began on the recovery of shoulder function following injuries of various kinds. In order to try and assess shoulder function and it's recovery following injury, it became apparent that diagnostic assessments of the shoulder were of little value, and the Author worked on designing a method of shoulder functional assessment what would allow easy and repeated assessment of shoulder function at various intervals following injury. This method of shoulder functional assessment is now used as a standard practice in many centres, throughout the world, and this paper aims to present the clinical method of functional assessment, as used by the Author, in plotting progress following injury over a number of years. The method has been extensively used by the author and others over the past ten years, in studying the recovery of shoulder function in different disease processes, after injuries and after various treatments, including surgery.
1980年，一项关于各类肩部损伤后功能恢复的重大研究开始了。为了尝试评估肩部功能及其损伤后的恢复情况，很明显，肩部的诊断评估价值不大，作者致力于设计一种肩部功能评估方法，该方法能够在损伤后的不同时间段轻松且重复地评估肩部功能。这种肩部功能评估方法如今在全球许多中心都作为标准做法使用，本文旨在介绍作者所采用的功能评估临床方法，用于描绘多年来损伤后的恢复进展情况。在过去十年中，作者及其他人员广泛使用该方法来研究不同疾病过程、损伤后以及包括手术在内的各种治疗后肩部功能的恢复情况。
