The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Questionnaire was successfully translated to Persian

IntroductionThe Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) is designed to evaluate pain and disability in subjects with lateral elbow tendinopathy. This questionnaire is available in Swedish, Italian, and some other languages. A Persian language version of the questionnaire is needed for both research and clinical purposes.Purpose of the StudyThe purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the PRTEE questionnaire into the Persian language and to determine its validity and reliability.MethodsThe PRTEE was translated and culturally adapted from English into Persian (PRTEE-P) according to the established guidelines. The PRTEE-P was completed by 68 Iranian subjects (44 women, 24 men) diagnosed with chronic lateral elbow tendinopathy. To assess test-retest reliability, all subjects filled out the PRTEE-P on a second admission within one week. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha were measured to report reliability. The validity was determined by correlating the PRTEE-P questionnaire with the Persian version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire.ResultsThe Persian version of the PRTEE showed a high internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.99, demonstrating good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.99). It was well correlated with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (r = 0.80).ConclusionThe PRTEE-P is a reliable and valid tool designed for measuring pain and disability in subjects with lateral elbow tendinopathy.     

Cross-cultural adaptation,validity and reliability of Turkish version of Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for children with congenital talipes equinovarus

BackgroundThe purpose of the study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire (OxAFQ) to provide cultural adaptation.MethodsThis study involved translation, back translation, and cross-cultural adaptation. Forty-nine patients with congenital talipes equinovarus were evaluated using the Turkish version of OxAFQ. Turkish version of the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) was used as a gold standard to validate the Turkish version of the OxAFQ. The validation was assessed with Spearman correlation analysis by using CHAQ. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed with Cronbach alpha (internal consistency) and exploratory factor analysis.ResultsHigh validity was found between OxAFQ and CHAQ (r = -0.422?0.292) (p < 0.01). Reliability analysis showed that OxAFQ had a high level of Cronbach alpha (α = 0.88?0.96) and internal consistency (ICC = 0.90?0.96).ConclusionThe Turkish version of OxAFQ is a valid, reliable and useful quality of life questionnaire in patients with congenital talipes equinovarus and it is proper for use by health professionals and researchers.     

The translation,cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index in Persian-speaking Iranians with foot disorder

BackgroundFoot pain has a significantly detrimental effect on mobility, function and health status. Researchers have developed a number of measurement tools to assess foot health and its impact on the quality of life. This study was conducted to translate the original English Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI) into Persian and to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version.MethodsA total of 206 patients with a range of foot disorders filled out the Persian version of the MFPDI and the Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). The Persian version of the MFPDI was re-completed by the participants at an interval of five to seven days. The analyses performed included internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and floor and ceiling effect analysis.ResultsThe Persian MFPDI had a good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α ≥ 0.70) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.84). The construct validity of the Persian MFPDI was demonstrated to be acceptable as a result of its significantly strong negative correlations with the SF-36.ConclusionThe results of this study showed that the Persian version of the MFPDI is a valid and reliable measure to assess foot-related disability.

A comparison of gait initiation and termination methods for obtaining plantar foot pressures

The midgait protocol is the most commonly used method to collect pressure platform data. Spatial limitations, however, frequently render this technique unsuitable. Alternative gait protocols have focused on gait initiation procedures in obtaining data. The current study investigated whether a commonly cited two-step gait initiation protocol, or a two-step gait termination protocol produced pressure data more representative of the criterion, midgait method. A pressure platform was used to collect data for 25 asymptomatic subjects using the midgait, two-step gait initiation and two-step gait termination walking protocols. The contact duration, percentage contact duration, peak pressure, peak force, pressure–time integral and force–time integral were calculated for seven sites within the foot. Multivariate analysis of variance with repeated measures identified significant protocol by site interactions for all variables except the force-time integral. The gait initiation protocol, although having minimal effect on peak pressures beneath the forefoot, markedly altered the relative timing parameters of the foot. In contrast, the gait termination protocol had minimal effect on temporal parameters, but resulted in a reduction in pressures beneath the forefoot. Abbreviated gait protocols are often employed in plantar pressure studies. This study suggests that the choice between a gait initiation and termination protocol is largely dependent on the gait parameter of interest.
