Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index

  Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire, evaluating the change in symptoms and functional ability, specific to a Rotator Cuff tendinopathy. Raw scores range from 0 to 2100 with a higher score indicating decreased quality of life.
