Scapulohumeral periarthritis, a frequent orthopedic and rehabilitation condition, can cause shoulder discomfort and shoulder joint dysfunction as a result of symptom progression, which lowers patients' quality of life. It is crucial to actively seek medical attention, stop the onset of symptoms, and enhance shoulder function following the illness. Patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis who are receiving clinical treatment have a variety of options for evaluating the rehabilitation's impact, and different evaluation methods have obvious differences in emphasis. To fulfill the clinical evaluation demands of various patients for illness rehabilitation, it is required to define the application pertinence and scope of application of various evaluation methods through study.
