Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Constant	Through study completion, an average of 1 per year	Constant Shoulder Score - 100 points scale about pain, Activities of daily living, Strength test, and Range of Motions questions about shoulder where 100 % corresponds to the highest pain
SPADI	Through study completion, an average of 1 per year	Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) -13 questions assessing about pain scale (5 questions) and disability scale (8 questions) where 0 indicates no pain/no difficulty and 10 indicates worst pain imaginable/so difficult it requires help while performin these activities
ASES	Through study completion, an average of 1 per year	American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score (ASES) - 100 points scale about shoulder pain and performance evaluation in activities of daily living where 100 indicates the best shoulder condition
UCLA	Through study completion, an average of 1 per year	University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Score (UCLA) - 5 Items score which combines both physician (3 items) and patient assessment (2 items) whith a total range from 0-35 where 0 indicates worse shoulder function and 35 better shoulder function outcomes
SST-12	Through study completion, an average of 1 per year	Shoulder Simple Test (SST) - 12 questions with yes/no responses that measure shoulder pain and function from a patient's perspective - 12 yes corresponds to 100%
