Should we separately measure the pain parameter of the Constant-Murley score in patients with chronic shoulder pain?

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Constant-Murley Score (CMS) is a relatively unique shoulder assessment tool because it combines patient-reported outcomes (pain and activity), performance measurement and clinician-reported outcomes (strength and mobility).
