OBJECTIVES: To compare the PROMIS Physical Function Computer Adaptive Test (PROMIS PF @entity2196 ) to commonly used traditional PF measures for the evaluation of @entity1 with proximal humerus @entity174 . DESIGN: Prospective. SETTING: Two Level I @entity130 centers. @entity1 / @entity1 : Forty-seven @entity1 older than 60 years with displaced proximal humerus @entity174 treated between 2006 and 2009. INTERVENTION: Evaluation included completion of the PROMIS PF @entity2196 , the Constant Shoulder Score, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) and the Short Musculoskeletal Functional Assessment (SMFA). MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENT: Observed correlations among the administered PF outcome measures. RESULTS: On average, @entity1 responded to 86 outcome-related items for this study: 4 for the PROMIS PF @entity2196 (range: 4-8 items), 6 for the Constant Shoulder Score, 30 for the DASH, and 46 for the SMFA. Time to complete the @entity2196 (median completion time = 98 seconds) was significantly less than that for the DASH (median completion time = 336 seconds, P < 0.001) and for the SMFA (median completion time = 482 seconds, P < 0.001). PROMIS PF @entity2196 scores correlated statistically significantly and were of moderate-to-high magnitude with all other PF outcome measure scores administered. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests using the PROMIS PF @entity2196 as a sole PF outcome measure can yield an assessment of upper extremity function similar to those provided by traditional PF measures, while substantially reducing @entity1 assessment time.
