NCT ID NCT06630039
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a shortened shoulder disability questionnaire (Short-WORC) works well in Turkish for people with rotator cuff injuries. 40 patients answered the 7-question survey during rehab, along with other standard scales. The goal was to see if the Turkish version is valid and reliable for measuring quality of life.
