Validade e confiabilidade da versão em português do American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form

Abstract

Introduction: The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form (ASES), often used in research in Brazil, although translated and adapted to the Portuguese language, had not had its validity and reliability tested yet. Objective: To assess the validity, reliability, and internal consistency of the ASES-PT for shoulder dysfunction. Materials and methods: Fifty individuals (26 women; mean age, 39 ± 13 years) participated in the validity assessment, and 38 (19 women; mean age, 37 ± 13 years old) in the reliability assessment, all having shoulder dysfunction. The participants completed the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), and the ASES-PT on two occasions with an interval of seven days. The convergent validity was assessed by use of the Spearman's rank correlation coeffi cient (ρ), and the analysis of the intrarater reliability used the intraclass correlation coeffi cient (ICC). The internal consistency was assessed by using Cronbach's alpha. Results: The ASES-PT scores correlated with the DASH scores (ρ = −0.69, P = 0.000) and with the "physical functioning" (ρ = 0.50, P = 0.000), "role limitation due to physical health" (ρ = 0.43, P = 0.002) and "bodily pain" domains (ρ = 0.60, P = 0.000) of the SF-36. The intrarater reliability of the ASES-PT proved to be adequate (ICC = 0.75, P = 0.000). The internal consistency (0.794) was satisfactory. Conclusion: The validity and reliability study of the ASES-PT supports its use for assessing shoulder dysfunction.

A concise shoulder outcome measure: application of computerized adaptive testing to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Assessment

“…The ASES shoulder score is one of the most common PROMs used in shoulder research 12,19,26 and has been validated for such use. 17,20,23 Many institutions have adopted routine, periodic collection of the ASES score to provide a consistent assessment of clinical success, a basis for scientific investigations of treatment methods, and documentation of the functional status of the shoulder. This commitment requires significant institutional resources and patients' time.…”

The Brazilian version of the Constant–Murley Score (CMS-BR): convergent and construct validity, internal consistency, and unidimensionality

“…The authors reported a comprehensive analysis of the psychometric properties of this instrument, such as internal consistency, measurement error, construct validity and floor and ceiling effects. Furthermore, Moser et al 35 analyzed internal consistency, convergent validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. Adequate results that support the utilization of both scores were observed.…”

Translation, cultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the shoulder rating questionnaire for use in Brazil

“…Many of these questionnaires are applied in specific situations and disorders of the shoulder, and for overall evaluation of the upper limb. [18][19][20] The semantic validation and content of the Brazilian SRQ was obtained and revealed only a few adjustments in the areas of pain, daily activities and in sports and leisure. The authors of the Dutch version of the SRQ also made some adjustments in some areas.…”
