Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa108 enrolled

Overview

The Shanghai Elbow Dysfunction Score (SHEDS) is originally developed in English to evaluate elbow function in patients with elbow stiffness. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SHEDS instrument into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.

The Shanghai Elbow Dysfunction Score (SHEDS) is originally developed in English to evaluate joint function in patients with elbow stiffness. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SHEDS instrument into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. Approximately seventy patients with elbow limitation will be included. For cross-cultural adaptation, two bi-lingual translators will use the back-translation procedure. Within a 3-to-5-day period after the first assessment, the participants will complete the Turkish version of SHEDS (SHEDS-T) to evaluate test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) will use to assess internal consistency. The correlation with the Turkish version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, the Turkish version of Mayo Elbow Performance Score, and Short Form-12 will be determined to check the validity. Responsiveness and floor and ceiling effects will be detected.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The Shanghai Elbow Dysfunction Score (SHEDS)

The Shanghai Elbow Dysfunction Score (SHEDS) is composed of 12 items and developed in 3 parts: elbow motion capacities, elbow-related symptoms, and patient satisfaction level. The SHEDS is a comprehensive and valid scoring system to evaluate elbow function in patients with elbow stiffness.

Time frame: Baseline (First assessment)

Secondary Outcomes

The Shanghai Elbow Dysfunction Score (SHEDS)

Time frame: Within a 3-to-5-day period after the first assessment (Second assessment)

The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire

The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire 30 core questions and optional additional 8 questions that are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale (no difficulty-unable). The cumulative DASH score is ranged from 0 to 100, where the higher scores indicate an increased degree of disability.

Time frame: Baseline (First assessment)

Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS)

Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) is designed to measure pain, stability, range of motion and the patient's ability to accomplish functional tasks, is one of the most commonly used physician based and joint-specific elbow rating system The cumulative MEPS score is ranged from 0 to 100, where the higher scores indicate an increased level of function.

Time frame: Baseline (First assessment)

Short Form-12 (SF-12)
