Table. Typical outcome scales:

Degree	Function
The Gilbert shoulder score for abduction and external rotation (21)
0	Flaccid shoulder
1	Abduction to 45°, no active ER
2	Abduction to <90°, no active er
3	Abduction to 90°, weak active ER
4	Abduction to <120°, weak active er
5	Abduction to >120°, complete active ER
The Raimondi score for hand function (22)
0	Complete paralysis or functionally useless finger flexion
	Non-usable thumb without grasping function
	Little or no sensation
1	Limited finger flexion
	No finger or wrist extension
	Key grip possible
2	Active wrist extension and use of the tenodesis effect
	Passive key grip in pronation
3	Complete active finger and wrist flexion
	Active thumb movement, including abduction and opposition
	Intrinsic equilibrium
	No active supination
	(Good opportunity for surgical correction)
4	Complete active finger and wrist flexion
	Active wrist extension, but weak finger extension (or none)
	Good opposition of the thumb with active ulnar intrinsic muscles
	Beginning pronation and supination
5	like 4 with active finger extension and nearly complete pronation and supination

ER = external rotation
