Turkish Validity and Reliability of Short-Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Disability Index

The aim of this study is to adapt the Short-Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Disability Index (SHORTWORC) to Turkish society and to make its validity and reliability in Turkish. The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Disability Index (WORC) developed by Kirkley et al assesses quality of life in patients with Rotator Cuff İnjury. The WORC has 21 questions. The WORC was shortened and renamed as Short-Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Disability Index (SHORTWORC). The SHORTWORC consists of 7 questions. This study will be conducted with patients with rotator cuff injuries. The patients will be sought to answer questionnaires during regular rehabilitation sessions. 35 participants will be included in the study. In order to evaluate the validity of the SHORTWORC, the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Disability Index (WORC), which can evaluate the quality of life in patients with rotator cuff injury and has been validated in Turkish, and the The University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scale, which can evaluate the functionality of shoulder and has been validated in Turkish, will be used. Scales will be repeated after 15 days to assess test-retest reliability.
