The aim this study was to adapt into Turkish assess its validity reliability.LHB translated culturally adapted English Turkish, then it applied 62 patients with long pathology. reliability scale checked through internal consistency test-retest methods. Internal computed Cronbach alpha value. Test-retest assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient. American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons Standard Assessment Form modified Constant-Murley were used analyze concurrent validity.The value found as .640. When subsections separately, levels pain/cramps cosmesis sections .753 .774, respectively. coefficient be excellent (.940; P < .001). total determined a good positive (.527) (.516). But revealed between section in (.811) (.816) (P There (.916) Popeye sign moderate (.469) elbow-flexion strength digital handheld dynamometer outcomes .001).The version valid reliable tool, especially pathologies.
