“…4,5 Performance tests that assess the functional ability of patients with shoulder problems may provide useful information for making clinical or return-toactivity decisions. A limited number of performance tests have been described to assess shoulder functions, including the Simple Shoulder Endurance Test, 12 the Functional Shoulder Elevation Test (FSET), 10 and function-related tests. 12 suggesting that performance may be too unstable for making decisions about patients.…”

Estimated Means of the FIT-HaNSA on Occasion 1 FIGURE 4. Summary scores of the FIT-HaNSA for the 3 groups. The box-plot summaries of FIT-HaNSA scores across the 3 subgroups recruited in this study (patients with mild to moderate shoulder condition, patients waiting for shoulder surgery, and the control group) are illustrated in this figure. The dark line in each box represents the median, the upper and lower margins of the box depict the first and third quartiles, and the whisker length represents 1.5 times the IQR, provided a data point is located at that value; otherwise, the whisker is drawn to the closest data point within 1.5 IQR. The dots show outliers. The mean scores (273 seconds, 221 seconds, and 90 seconds) were significantly different among groups (P<

“…Upper-extremity measures are designed to be sensitive to disorders affecting any part of the upper limb; [6][7][8][9] shoulder-specific outcome measures have been developed to examine the impact of a condition on a specific joint; 10,11 and disease-specific shoulder measures focus on aspects of health that tend to be affected by a specific disease or condition. [12][13][14][15][16][17] The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC), a disease-specific outcome measure, was developed by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, approximately 10 years ago. 16 The developers of the WORC 16 criticized previous shoulder measures for poorly defining techniques for physical examination, weighting items arbitrarily, failing to consult with patients, and using double-barrelled questions, but they were not specific about which measures had which shortcomings.…”

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop and examine the measurement properties of a shortened version of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC), the SHORTWORC, in individuals with rotator-cuff pathology. Methods: The study occurred in two stages, both using secondary analysis of existing data sets. The first stage used cross-sectional data from candidates for rotator-cuff surgery to develop the SHORTWORC. The second stage examined various measurement properties of the SHORTWORC by analyzing scores from the WORC, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons questionnaire, and the Constant-Murley score obtained from patients before and after rotator-cuff surgery. Approaches to validating the SHORTWORC included calculating the standard error of measurement (SEM) at an instant in time, performing a confirmatory factor analysis, correlating findings among the questionnaires, and examining differences between men and women. Sensitivity to change was investigated using standardized response mean and relative efficiency. Results: Data for 712 patients were used to develop the SHORTWORC, the final version of which consisted of 7 questions. Data for 166 patients (86 men, 80 women; mean age 57 e 11 years) were used for validation. The SEM based on internal consistency (SEM IC ) was calculated as 7.43 SHORTWORC points. The SHORTWORC had similar convergent validity (r ¼ 0.72 À 0.82) and sensitivity to change (SRM ¼ 1.20 vs. 1.25, p > 0.05) to the longer version. The relative efficiency of the SHORTWORC was 3.19 times that of the WORC (95% CI, 1.50-71.51) in discriminating men's from women's level of disability. Conclusions: The SHORTWORC has indicators of validity, relative efficiency, and sensitivity to change comparable to those of the original version but has a smaller response burden.Key Words: outcome measures; reliability of results; shortened version; validity of results; WORC.
