Validity And Reliability Study Of The Turkish Version Of Short Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index

Recruiting

• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Injuries

• Registration Number: NCT06112444
• Lead Sponsor: Gazi University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of a Turkish shortened version of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (SHORTWORC).

Detailed Description

Many of the musculoskeletal diseases that doctors treat every day affect both quality of life and functionality. Rotator Cuff diseases are highly prevalent shoulder disorders associated with pain and functional limitations. Thus, surveys measuring treatment outcomes and activity limitations have become important in clinical research. Such scales can be time consuming or impractical for the patient, depending on the areas they evaluate. For this reason, the development of scales focusing on specific areas facilitates evaluations in the clinical environment. The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties the Turkish SHORTWORC index, which is designed to focus on a single parameter.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Short Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index	First Day	The scale of Short Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index is a disease-spesific index designed to evaluate activity limitations in patient with rotator cuff disorders. It is an abbreviated version of Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC). İt has 7 items that access only 1 domain , the activity limitations. Patients rate their function on a scale from 0, meaning no difficulty, to 100, meaning extreme difficulty. The percentage scores for the Short-WORC are obtained by subtracting the total score from 700, dividing by 700, and multiplying by 100, resulting in a total percentage score varying from 0 to 100.,
Constant-Murley score (CMS)	First Day	The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is a 100-points scale composed of a number of individual parameter. These parameters define the level of pain and the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient. The Constant-Murley score was introduced to determine the functionality after the treatment of a shoulder injury.
American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES)	First Day	The ASES is a 100-point scale that consists of two dimensions: pain and activities of daily living. There is one pain scale worth 50 points and ten activities of daily living worth 50 points. İt has been also reported to be reliable and valid in patients ,with upper extremity, shoulder or rotator cuff pathology.
