The purpose of φ-PROMISE project is to carry out a cultural adaptation (translate into Finnish and validate) some of the most frequently used shoulder- and elbow-specific patient-reported outcome measures, PROMs. In addition, we aim to investigate which outcome measures are the most relevant for assessing the severity of complaints and treatment outcomes. Also, we will define the Patients Acceptable Symptomatic State (PASS) and the Minimal Important Difference (MID) of the individual outcome measures.
