Longitudinal cohort. One French university hospital. The scales were applied twice at one-week interval before physiotherapy and once after physiotherapy twoˋmonths later. The perceived improvement after treatment was self-assessed on a numerical scale (0每4). The test每retest reliability of the DASH, SPADI and Constant每Murley scales was assessed before treatment by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The responsiveness was assessed by the paired t-test (Pˋ<ˋ0.05) and standardized mean difference (SMD). The correlation between the percentage of variation in scale scores and the self-assessed improvement score after treatment was measured by the Spearman coefficient. Fifty-three patients were included. Twenty-six only were available for reliability. The test每retest reliability was very good for the DASH (ICCˋ=ˋ0.97), SPADI (0.95) and Constant每Murley (0.92). The scale score was improved after treatment for each scale (Pˋ<ˋ0.05). The SMD was moderate for the DASH (0.56) and SPADI (0.56) scales, and small for the Constant每Murley (0.44). The correlation between the percentage of variation in scores and self-assessed improvement score after treatment was high, moderate and not significant for the SPADI (0.59, Pˋ<ˋ0.0001), DASH (0.42, Pˋ<ˋ0.01) and Constant每Murley scales, respectively. The test每retest reliability of the DASH, SPADI and Constant每Murley scales is very good for patients with DRCD.
