Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the construct validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Upper Limb Short Questionnaire in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Materials and methods: A total of 41 children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy have participated in the study. Upper and lower extremities functional levels were assessed with Vignos Scale and Brooke Upper Extremity Functional Rating Scale, respectively. The construct validity of the questionnaire was determined using the correlation between the Upper Limb Short Questionnaire and ABILHAND-Kids. The Cronbach alpha value was calculated to determine internal consistency. To determine test-retest reliability, 17 randomly selected children were evaluated seven days after the first evaluation, and the 'Intraclass Correlation Coefficient' value was calculated.

Results: There was a moderate level of positive correlation between the Upper Limb Short Questionnaire scores and the Vignos Scale (r = 0.52, p < 0.001) and the Brooke Upper Extremity Functional Rating Scale (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). There was a strong correlation between the Upper Limb Short Questionnaire and ABILHAND-Kids in the negative direction (r= -0.80, p < 0.001). Internal consistency of the ULSQ was fairly high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.785) and test-retest reliability was good (ICC = 0.86).

Conclusion: The Turkish version of Upper Limb Short Questionnaire is a valid and reliable scale for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It can be a useful tool in the UE clinical evaluation of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

土耳其版杜氏肌萎缩症上肢短问卷的信度和效度。

目的:本研究旨在评估土耳其版杜氏肌营养不良症上肢短问卷的结构效度和信度。材料与方法:共41例杜氏肌营养不良患儿参与研究。分别用Vignos量表和Brooke上肢功能评定量表评估上肢和下肢功能水平。采用上肢短量表与ABILHAND-Kids量表的相关分析来确定问卷的结构效度。计算Cronbach alpha值以确定内部一致性。为确定重测信度，在第一次评估后7天随机选取17名儿童进行评估，计算“班级内相关系数”值。结果:上肢短问卷得分与Vignos量表存在中度正相关(r = 0.52, p r= 0.65, p r= -0.80, p)。结论:土耳其版上肢短问卷是一份有效、可靠的儿童杜氏肌营养不良量表。它可以作为一个有用的工具，在UE临床评估儿童杜氏肌营养不良症。

期刊介绍： Somatosensory & Motor Research publishes original, high-quality papers that encompass the entire range of investigations related to the neural bases for somatic sensation, somatic motor function, somatic motor integration, and modeling thereof. Comprising anatomical, physiological, biochemical, pharmacological, behavioural, and psychophysical studies, Somatosensory & Motor Research covers all facets of the peripheral and central processes underlying cutaneous sensation, and includes studies relating to afferent and efferent mechanisms of deep structures (e.g., viscera, muscle). Studies of motor systems at all levels of the neuraxis are covered, but reports restricted to non-neural aspects of muscle generally would belong in other journals.
