Rezumat	The Rotator Cuff Quality of Life Index (RC-QoL) is a rotator cuff-specific outcome instrument that measures symptom impact and functional limitations in patients with rotator cuff disease. Developed within rotator cuff treatment literature, the RC-QoL captures the physical, emotional, and social burden of rotator cuff pathology—pain, functional limitations, sleep disturbance, psychological distress—providing a patient-centered perspective on disease impact beyond mechanical function alone. The RC-QoL is widely used in rotator cuff repair and conservative management outcome studies.	The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is a unique, individualized outcome instrument that captures patient-identified functional limitations and tracks change in those specific activities. Developed by Stratford and colleagues in 1995 and published in Physiotherapy Canada, the PSFS revolutionized patient-centered assessment by allowing each patient to identify and rate the three to five activities most important to them, rather than answering predetermined questions. This approach ensures relevance and maximizes the instrument's sensitivity to clinically meaningful change in patient-valued outcomes.
