Functional assessment using Constant's Shoulder Scale after modified radical and selective neck dissection

Constant's Shoulder Scale is a validated and widely applied instrument for assessment of shoulder function. We used this instrument to assess which treatment and demographic variables contribute to shoulder dysfunction after neck dissection in head and neck cancer patients.
