Abstract

Objectives

To translate, cross-culturally adapt and study the psychometric properties of the Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index (UWRI) in Italian runners with running-related injuries (RRI).

Design

clinometric study.

Setting

5 private outpatient physical therapy clinics.

Participants

144 subjects with RRI.

Main outcome measures

UWRI translation was performed following international guidelines. Structural validity (confirmatory factor analysis [CFA]), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha [α]), test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]), measurement error (minimal detectable change [MDC]), and construct validity (hypothesis testing).

Results

UWRI translation was performed without issues. CFA showed a two-factor structure (i.e., running progression and symptom surveillance subscale) (comparative fit index = 0.988; Tucker–Lewis index = 0.977; root mean square error of approximation = 0.049; standardized root mean square residual = 0.042). Each subscale presented high internal consistency (α = 0.92 and 0.75 for the running progression and symptom surveillance subscales, respectively), excellent and good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.99 and 0.89 for the running progression and symptom surveillance subscales, respectively), and acceptable measurement error (MDC = 0.33 and 2.3 points for the running progression and symptom surveillance subscales, respectively). Construct validity was moderate for both subscales as 50.0 % (2/4) of a-priori hypotheses were satisfied.

Conclusion

The validation process revealed acceptable psychometric properties of the UWRI Italian version, which can be used for research and clinical purposes.

威斯康辛大学跑步损伤与恢复指数（UWRI）意大利语版：跨文化适应、效度与信度

目的对意大利跑步相关损伤（RRI）运动员的威斯康星跑步损伤与恢复指数（UWRI）进行翻译、跨文化适应并研究其心理测量特性。Designclinometric研究。设有5家私人门诊理疗诊所。参与者为144名RRI患者。主要结果测量：世界语言研究所的翻译是按照国际指南进行的。结构效度（验证性因子分析[CFA]）、内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha [α]）、重测信度（类内相关系数[ICC]）、测量误差（最小可检测变化[MDC]）和结构效度（假设检验）。结果wri翻译无问题。CFA显示双因素结构（即跑步进展和症状监测分量表）（比较拟合指数= 0.988；Tucker-Lewis指数= 0.977；近似均方根误差= 0.049；标准化均方根残差= 0.042）。各子量表具有较高的内部一致性（跑步进展和症状监测子量表的α值分别为0.92和0.75）、优异和良好的重测信度（跑步进展和症状监测子量表的ICC值分别为0.99和0.89）和可接受的测量误差（跑步进展和症状监测子量表的MDC值分别为0.33和2.3分）。两个分量表的建构效度均为中等，50.0%（2/4）的先验假设得到满足。结论经验证，UWRI意大利语版的心理测量学性能良好，可用于临床和研究。

期刊介绍： Musculoskeletal Science & Practice, international journal of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, is a peer-reviewed international journal (previously Manual Therapy), publishing high quality original research, review and Masterclass articles that contribute to improving the clinical understanding of appropriate care processes for musculoskeletal disorders. The journal publishes articles that influence or add to the body of evidence on diagnostic and therapeutic processes, patient centered care, guidelines for musculoskeletal therapeutics and theoretical models that support developments in assessment, diagnosis, clinical reasoning and interventions.
