ormalization of the Constant score

چکیده
a S c s he strength of the normal shoulder may differ by gener and deteriorate with age. Thus, the Constant score ay also decrease in absolute value while still reflectng a normal score. To account for ageand genderelated differences, normal results for this scale must e determined across a population of patients without houlder disease. Patients presenting for evaluation of onshoulder conditions participated. A subjective uestionnaire was completed. Range of motion and trength were measured. This analysis includes the ata of 441 patients. The mean Constant score for en was significantly greater than that for women in ach age group (P .05). Significant age-related diferences were noted in each group (P .05). Normaive values for the Constant score based on age and ender were determined. The adjusted score repreents the genderand age-matched function of the houlder and is useful in the evaluation of shoulder utcomes. (J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2005;14:279-285.)
