It was shown to have strong psychometric properties for reliability, validity, responsiveness, error measurement, and internal consistency that approximated or exceeded those of the DASH and UEFS [6]. All participants with eligible criteria completed the three Spanish language versions of the self-administered questionnaires, the ULFI-Sp, the EQ-5D-3L and the QuickDASH-Sp. (Additional file 1). The present study included 216 BCS, and the same sample was used for all analyses.
