The Mobile Constant, a Self-Reported Method for Shoulder Function Evaluation: Development and Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Shoulder pain is a highly prevalent musculoskeletal disorder that severely compromises patients' quality of life. The Constant-Murley Scale (CMS) is a well-established method for shoulder function evaluation. However, the necessity of clinician involvement constrains its utility in continuous monitoring. Recent improvements in human pose estimation and inertial sensors provide possibilities for automated functional assessment.

Objective

This study introduces an automated CMS assessment system that can provide objective measuring results using movement images and inertial sensor data (Mobile Constant) and aims to evaluate its reliability by comparison with standard results from human raters.

Methods

The Mobile Constant system integrated subjective symptom qu
