Cross-cultural adaptation of the lower extremity functional scale in kannada and assessment of its measurement properties - a longitudinal study.
BackgroundLower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a useful tool for evaluating lower extremity (LE) disability, but it has not been adapted for use with Kannada or other regional languages in India.ObjectiveThis study aimed to perform cross-cultural adaptation and Kannada translation of the LEFS (LEFS-K) and examine its psychometric properties.MethodsA Longitudinal study on 150 patients with hip and knee injuries. Numeric Rating Scales for Pain (NRS-P) and disability (NRS-D), and Sit-to-stand (5STS) was administered at the initial visit. LEFS-K and NRS again 2 days later and at discharge. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha (CA) assessed test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Pearson correlation coefficients (r) examined concurrent relations. Effects size was calculated for responsiveness. Clinically important (MCID) and statistically true (MDC) were assessed for the LEFS-K.ResultsLEFS-K demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.98) and internal consistency (CA = 0.88). Low to moderate correlations (r < 0.70) were observed between the LEFS-K and other measures (NRS-P, NRS-D, and 5STS). The LEFS-K was deemed responsive to assess change for LE disability (ES = 0.84).ConclusionThe Kannada LEFS is proved to be a reliable, valid and responsive tool for evaluating LE MSK disability in Kannada speaking individuals with hip and knee disorders.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty.
In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
