Summary

Questionnaires are frequently used to evaluate shoulder function in various diseases or after surgery. However, measurement of shoulder function is presently a controversial issue. Shoulder movement analysis based on embedded sensors could be a promising alternative to questionnaires. Some studies already demonstrated the relevance of this approach. It has also been demonstrated that a simple testing procedure including only two arm movements produces comparable results to more complicated testing procedures. However, more studies are needed to extensively establish if this simplified testing procedure provides a trustworthy evaluation of patient shoulder function and its evolution.

This study is a preliminary study which aims to develop a precise testing procedure which will be used in a future study aiming to evaluate measurement properties of a simple shoulder function test based on movement sensors.
