Abstract
Introduction: Few questionnaires to quantify and categorize subjective and objective functional limitations in shoulder pathology have been translated into Argentine Spanish.
Objective: To carry out the standardization, translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Constant-Murley Score into Argentine Spanish.
Materials and Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation was carried out following the steps proposed in the guide of the International Society of Pharmacoeconomic and Outcomes Research which establishes the guidelines for the translation and cultural adaptation of patient-reported outcome measures.
Results: The version resulting from the translation process into Spanish was evaluated through cognitive interviews in two stages. Subsequently, the questions were reformulated for a better understanding of the elements and their response options, and specific modifications were made.
Conclusion: We carried out the cross-cultural adaptation of the Constant-Murley score, obtaining a useful tool for the population of Argentina with shoulder pathologies.
