Validity and comprehensibility of outcome measures in children with shoulder and elbow disorders: creation of a new Pediatric and Adolescent Shoulder and Elbow Survey (Pedi-ASES)

Designing PROs that are specific to children will enable researchers and clinicians to more accurately assess health status and clinical outcomes.
