Abstract Reports using the Constant-Murley score often lack details regarding how strength
measurement was performed, which may have an important impact on the results obtained.
A description of the measurement is especially important when patients are unable to adopt
the prescribed position of 90 shoulder abduction, leading to invalid or highly discrepant
scores. We investigated the influence of shoulder abduction and torso position on strength
measurement with special emphasis on intraobserver reliability. Thirty-three healthy …
