And also, the ultimate goal was to facilitate international researches in shoulder problems as well as to serve the physicians for their clinical practice.

Full description

Munich Shoulder Questionnaire (MSQ) is an innovative tool for self-assessment of shoulder function. It was especially designed for an effective follow-up of shoulder patients which were also allowing for a quantitative assessment of the Constant, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and DASH score consisting of a 30-items questionnaire. It based on subjective and objective parameters of shoulder function.

Standart questionnaire enable to follow patients on a close and regular base with manageable effort for both the disability and the patients.an optimal instrument for outcome measurement of shoulder problems should meet the following requirments: a) the instrument should be a self-assmment patient reporting tool, b) the questions must be easily comprensible, c) filling in should be finished less than 30 minutes, d) the results should provide calculation of several well established scoring system. MSQ can be completed at home and typical functional abilities about evaluation are explained with pictures so these can make it easy. As a result, we choose to translate the MSQ into Turkish as it is less costly, practical and time consuming than developing a new tool. In addition, objective (normal joint movement and muscle strength) and subjective (pain, daily life activity, sport and leisure time activities) parameters in a single form to create the advantage in terms of ease of use and time. With these properties, MSQ may be preferred during follow-up of the results of conservative and / or surgical treatment.
