“…COSMIN has been adapted and used throughout the literature to broaden its application beyond the assessment of patient‐reported outcome measures. Although this may alter the validity and reliability of the original assessment tool, this adapted version is widely used . Another potential limitation was the inclusion criteria of search 2, where assessment of measurement properties needed to be the study's intent.…”

“…The CM score is the most often used assessment score in shoulder research. 36 The CM score has been validated for patients with all common shoulder complaints, such as rotator cuff tear, impingement, instability, and degenerative arthritis, and has shown good measurement properties. 28 There is no Dutch validated version of the CM assessment.…”

“…None of the currently used outcome measures in people with a proximal humeral fracture [ 14 ] measure the single construct of activity limitations. For example, the clinician-administered Constant Score and American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Score [ 15 ] assess components of pain, ‘function’ or activities, range of motion and strength and combine these in a single score.…”

BackgroundProximal humeral fractures are amongst the most common fractures. Functional recovery is often slow and many people have ongoing disability during activities of daily life. Unidimensional measurement of activity limitations is required to monitor functional progress during rehabilitation. However, currentshoulder measures are multidimensional incorporating constructs such as activities, range of motion and pain into a single scale. Psychometric information of these measures is scarce in this population, and indicate measurement issues with reliability. Therefore, the aim was to develop the clinician-observed Shoulder Function Index (SFInX), a unidimensional, interval-level measure of ‘shoulder function’ based on actual performance of activities, reflecting activity limitations following a proximal humeral fracture.MethodsAn outcome measure development study was performed including item generation (existing shoulder measures, focus groups) and item selection (selection criteria, importance and feasibility ratings, pilot testing, Rasch analysis). Clinicians (n=15) and people with a proximal humeral fracture (n=13) participated in focus groups. Items were pilot tested (n=12 patients) and validated in a Rasch study. The validation study sample (n=92, 86% female) were recruited between 5 and 52 weeks post-fracture and had a mean age of 63.5 years (SD13.9). Measurements at recruitment and 6 and 7 weeks later were taken in three public metropolitan hospitals or during home visits. Raw SFInX data were analysed with WINSTEPS v3.74 using polytomous Rasch models.ResultsFrom 282 generated items, 42 items were selected to be rated by clinicians and patients; 34 items were pilot tested and 16 items were included for Rasch analysis. The final SFInX, developed with the Partial Credit Model, contains 13 items and has the response categories: ‘unable’, ‘partially able’ and ‘able’. It is unidimensional measuring ‘shoulder function’, and can measure from early functional use (drinking from a cup) to independence around the house (lifting items above head, carrying heavy items).ConclusionsThe SFInX is a promising outcome measure of shoulder function for people with a proximal humeral fracture. It has content relevant to patients and clinicians, is unidimensional and feasible for use in clinical and home settings. In its current form, the SFInX is ready for further psychometric evaluation, and for subsequent use in clinical settings and research.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12891-015-0481-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
