Cross-cultural adaptation of VISA-P score for patellar tendinopathy in Turkish population.
SpringerPlus 2016
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE: VISA-P questionnaire assesses to severity of symptoms and treatment effects in athletes with patellar tendinopathy. The purpose of this study was to translated VISA-P questionnaire into Turkish language and to determine its validity and reliability.
METHODS: The English version of VISA-P questionnaire was translated into Turkish according to the internationally recommended guidelines. Test-retest reliability was determined on 89 participants with time interval 24 h. To determine validity of Turkish VISA-P, 31 (17 male, 14 female) healthy students, 34 (20 male, 14 female) patients with patellar tendinopathy (diagnosed by physical examination and ultrasonography) and 24 (16 male, 8 female) volleyball players (at risk populations) were completed VISA-P-Tr. Internal consistency was determined with Cronbach's alpha. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were calculated to analyse test-retest reliability. To assessment of discrimination, VISA-P-Tr scores compared all groups using the Mann-Whitney-U test.
RESULTS: The VISA-P-Tr questionnaire showed good test-retest reliability (The Cronbach's alpha was 0.79 and 0.78 respectively and ICC was 0.96). The VISA-P-Tr score (mean ± SD) were 93.7 ± 8.9 and 94.0 ± 8.1 for healthy students, 81.1 ± 13.7 and 80.7 ± 13.4 for volleyball players, 58.8 ± 12.1 and 58.5 ± 11.0 for athletes with patellar tendinopathy.
CONCLUSION: The translated Turkish version of VISA-P has good internal consistency and good reliability and validity. Therefore VISA-P-Tr is useful to evaluate symptoms and follow the treatment effect in athletes with patellar tendinopathy.
