Usefulness of Shoulder36 in rotator cuff tears: Comparison with Simple Shoulder Test

Background: In patients with rotator cuff tears, Shoulder36 (Sh36) was compared to the Simple Shoulder Test (SST) to determine a broader use of Sh36 worldwide. Methods: Sh36, SST, “Constant score,” and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA) were used to evaluate 230 patients (male, 116; fe...

description Background: In patients with rotator cuff tears, Shoulder36 (Sh36) was compared to the Simple Shoulder Test (SST) to determine a broader use of Sh36 worldwide. Methods: Sh36, SST, “Constant score,” and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (JOA) were used to evaluate 230 patients (male, 116; female, 114) during the first visit, analyzed by staff blinded to the study. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used for the statistical analysis. Results: The correlation coefficient between the Constant score and each domain in Sh36 was as follows: r = 0.68 (vs. pain, p < 0.01); r = 0.69 (vs. range of motion, p < 0.01); r = 0.74 (vs. muscle strength, p < 0.01); r = 0.62 (vs. general health, p < 0.01); r = 0.66 (vs. ability of daily living, p < 0.01); and r = 0.65 (vs. ability for sports, p < 0.01). The correlation coefficient between the JOA and each domain in Sh36 was as follows: r = 0.76 (vs. pain, p < 0.01); r = 0.73 (vs. range of motion, p < 0.01); r = 0.78 (vs. muscle strength, p < 0.01); r = 0.68 (vs. general health, p < 0.01); r = 0.71 (vs. ability of daily living, p < 0.01); and r = 0.70 (vs. ability for sports, p < 0.01). The correlation coefficient between the SST and each domain in Sh36 was as follows: r = 0.73 (vs. pain, p < 0.01); r = 0.70 (vs. range of motion, p < 0.01); r = 0.75 (vs. muscle strength, p < 0.01); r = 0.67 (vs. general health, p < 0.01); r = 0.69 (vs. ability of daily living, p < 0.01); and r = 0.64 (vs. ability for sports, p < 0.01). Conclusion: A strong association exists between the SST and each domain in the Sh36, in patients with rotator cuff tears ( r = 0.64–0.73), suggesting the usefulness of Sh36 for patient-based scoring.
