ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a special survey called The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) that has been translated into Arabic. The goal is to see if this Arabic version can effectively measure how rotator cuff injuries affect the quality of life for Arabic-speaking patients. Researchers want to ensure that the survey accurately reflects the experiences of these patients and is reliable over time.

To participate in the study, individuals need to be between the ages of 18 and 60, be able to read and write in Arabic, and have been referred by a doctor for issues like rotator cuff tendinopathy or partial tears. However, those with other shoulder-related problems, cognitive issues, or significant health conditions that could impact the results will not be included. Participants will complete the survey and help researchers understand how well this tool works in the Arabic-speaking community.
