BACKGROUND: No validated shoulder-specific quality of life measurements exist for patients with scapula alata (SA). The objective was to investigate the content validity of the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff (WORC) Index for SA patients.METHODS: Content validity was evaluated by an expert panel of medical doctors and physiotherapists (n=6) and a sample of SA patients (n=44). The Content Validity Index (CVI) and a modified kappa index (kappa*) assessed the relevance of WORC Index.RESULTS: The experts evaluated ten of 21 items as excellent for content validity (I-CVI>0.78, kappa*>0.74), five items as fair (I-CVI
