Constant Murley Scale (CMS)
Description: A shoulder-specific outcome measure [1].
Format: The CMS is a 100-point scale composed of a number of individual parameters. These parameters define the degree of pain the patient experiences and the ability to perform normally daily living tasks.
Scoring: The degree of pain experienced is rated on a scale from 0 to 15, and the ability to perform normal tasks of daily activity is rated on a scale from 0 to 20 points. In addition, objective testing of active motion range is measured on a scale from 0 to 40, and shoulder power on a scale from 0 to 25.
Administration and Burden: Interviewer-administered.
Psychometrics for SCI: Not available.
Languages: English, Dutch.
QoL Concept: The CMS is an Objective and Subjective measure of shoulder impairment, which corresponds to Boxes C (achievements; activities of daily living) and E (subjective evaluations and reactions) of Dijker’s Model.
