Shoulder Outcomes Measures

Rick W. Wright, MD and Keith M. Baumgarten, MD

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO (Dr. Wright), and Orthopedic Institute, Sioux Falls, SD (Dr. Baumgarten).

Dr. Wright or an immediate family member has received research or institutional support from Smith & Nephew, Wright Medical Technology, and DJO. Dr. Baumgarten or an immediate family member serves as a board member, owner, officer, or committee member of Sioux Falls Surgical Center and has received nonincome support (such as equipment or services), commercially derived honoraria, or other non-research–related funding (such as paid travel) from Wolters Kluwer Health—Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

General health as well as disease- or condition-specific outcome measures have long been used to assess patients with shoulder conditions. Currently, a variety of validated measures is available. Shoulder outcomes measures may be general (eg, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons; Constant; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand), disease-specific (eg, Rotator Cuff Quality of Life, Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index), or condition-specific (eg, Oxford Shoulder Instability Questionnaire). The results of shoulder arthroplasty and arthritis treatment can be assessed with the Hospital for Special Surgery score and the validated Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Index. Combining a general health outcome measure, a general shoulder measure, a disease- or condition-specific shoulder measure, and an activity measure allows for broad patient assessment.
