“…At last followup, we recorded the Constant-Murley score [9,10], the ability to work, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain [29,30]. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score [28,40] was also recorded in all but the two patients with a latissimus dorsi and teres major muscle transfer. The postoperative activities of daily living requiring external rotation (ADLER) score, as described by Boileau et al [4], and the mobility of the shoulder were recorded to evaluate the difference between patients treated with a combined latissimus dorsi and teres major muscle transfer and those without.…”

Background Normal function of the upper limb is seldom restored after limb-sparing surgery for tumors of the proximal humerus. The literature suggests superior shoulder function is achieved in the short term with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty compared to other techniques when performed for conditions with rotator cuff deficiency. It is unclear whether this superiority is maintained when reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is performed for tumors. Questions/purposes When performed for tumors, we determined whether reverse total shoulder arthroplasty restores function and improves motion, the complications associated with the surgery, and whether reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with autologous grafting is associated with bone resorption. Patients and MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 14 patients who had undergone reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for tumors of the proximal humerus. Four patients died, leaving nine patients for review. The surviving patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically. The minimum followup was 0.6 years (mean, 7.7 years; range, 0.6-12 years). Results At last followup, mean active abduction was 157°a nd mean functional Constant-Murley score was 76%. One patient had a deep infection and one developed a loose prosthesis; both were treated with single-stage exchange. At last followup, both patients had reasonable function without evidence of infection or loosening. Radiographic graft resorption was seen in all but one patient. Conclusions Our observations suggest, at medium-term followup, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a reasonable option for tumors of the proximal humerus. It has low morbidity, restores a mean active abduction of 157°, and limits the impairment of activities of daily living.

“…These instruments are recommended for patients with thoracic outlet syndrome, however none of them has been validated and reliable in these patients and using them requires more research on their psychometric properties in these patients. Although, the studies showed that the psychometric properties of these instruments are acceptable for clinical use [23,25,34], the clinical use of them requires more research and examinations. For instance, the shortness of questionnaire, simple answering with yes/no, and very simple grading in "simple shoulder test" makes this questionnaire an attractive research clinical instrument but in the systematic-review studies, the least detectable change (MDC) and the least minimal clinically important difference (MCID) are not defined [34].…”

Purpose: Thoracic outlet syndrome is one of the most controversial topics in clinical medicine due to its difficult assessment and management. The appropriate treatment depends on accurate and comprehensive assessment. This study aimed to review the current assessments of these patients. Methods:This study was conducted by review of the articles published between 1990 and 2014. Search was conducted by keywords such as assessment, evaluation, outcome measure, tool, thoracic outlet syndrome, non-surgical treatments, conservative, and rehabilitation. In this regard, internal and external databases, including PubMed, OVID, ProQuest, Web of science, Elsevier, OT seeker, SID, Magiran, Iran Medex, Medlib, and Google scholar were used. Results:The results showed that the most common assessments for these patients in a clinical and research setting included a thorough review of history and subjective evaluation. No specific tools were found for patients with thoracic outlet syndrome but 5 generic outcome measures were suggested to measure the outcome of interventions in these patients. Conclusion:At present, comprehensive evaluation of patients with thoracic outlet syndrome needs different assessments and using the generic questionnaire that is designed for people with orthopedic conditions. Therefore, a comprehensive assessment tool with a holistic view and specific for patients with thoracic outlet syndrome is necessary.

“…Construct validity was also reportedly acceptable when compared to other upper limb outcome measurement tools such as Shoulder, Pain and Disability Index [16,19], American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardised Shoulder Assessment [16,17], and Brigham and Women's Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire [17].…”

“…Psychometric examination of the DASH with musculoskeletal populations (arthritis, shoulder and elbow arthroplasty, Colles fracture, proximal humeral fracture and carpal tunnel syndrome) found it to be reliable [11][12][13][14][15], valid [16][17][18][19] and simple to administer [16,[20][21][22].…”

1 AbstractPurpose: The Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire is a patient reported outcome measure for evaluating upper limb function in people with musculoskeletal conditions. While the DASH has good psychometric properties when used with people with musculoskeletal conditions, it has not been tested with adults after stroke.Methods: Data for n=61 adults following stroke (aged 32 to 93 years, 44% male) were analysed to test validity and reliability of the DASH for use with a stroke population. Data Conclusion:The DASH is considered to have acceptable validity when used with adults following stroke. Test-retest reliability was low but further research is needed to establish whether this is a result of condition-related change or the stability of the measure.
