Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Functional Shoulder Score

Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Functional Shoulder Score in Patients With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

The aim of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Functional Shoulder Score in Turkish patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: questionnaire

Detailed Description

The original form of the Functional Shoulder Score will be translated into Turkish by two Turkish mother tongue translators who also speak English in advanced level. Then these translations will be combined into one translation and translated back to English. The pre-final version will be composed and tested on a group of patients with SIS. If necessary, readjustments will be made, and the validity of the final version will be investigated in 116 patients with SIS. Additionally, for the test-retest reliability, 59 patients will fill out the questionnaire again after 3-7 days.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Functional Shoulder Score	The questionnaire includes 11 items: One is about shoulder pain intensity and 10 is about the shoulder function. The minimum score is 0 (worst) and the maximum score is 100 (best).	Baseline - within 3-7 days after the baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Modified Constant Murley Shoulder Score	100 points total score of this score consists of 15 points of pain, 20 points of daily activities, 40 points of the active range of motion, and 25 points of strength. The minimum score is 0 (worst) and the maximum score is 100 (best).	Baseline
American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Society standardized shoulder assessment form	The patient self-evaluation questionnaire includes 11 item; one is about shoulder pain intensity and 10 are about the shoulder function.The minimum score is 0 (worst) and the maximum score is 100 (best).	Baseline
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH)	The disability level of the upper extremity is determined by 30 questions; 21 questions are about physical function, 3 questions are about social/role function and 6 questions are about the symptoms of the patient. The minimum score is 0 (best) and the maximum score is 100 (worst).	Baseline
Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) index	The disease-specific questionnaire includes 21 items, 4 about physical symptoms, 4 about sport/recreation, 4 about work, 4 about lifestyle and 4 about emotions. The minimum score is 0 (worst) and the maximum score is 100 (best).	Baseline
Global rating scale	The global shoulder function is graded between 0 (no use) and 10 (normal function) on a scale.	Baseline
