Development of the Spanish version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure version III: cross-cultural adaptation and reliability and validity study

Abstract

Purpose: To provide a translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) version III for Spain and to validate the Spanish version of the SCIM III (eSCIM III). Patients and methods: Development of eSCIM III has involved translation, back-translation and assessment of cultural equivalence procedures. eSCIM version III, was administered to 64 patients with spinal cord injury, admitted to our hospital. Investigation of the psychometric characteristics included: (1) study of the inter-rater reliability, (2) internal consistency (Cronbach’s α), (3) validation and confirmation of the correlation between eSCIM III and Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and (4) sensitivity to change. Results: The reliability of eSCIM III showed an intra-class coefficient value >0.97 in the different subscales assessed. Internal consistency of eSCIM III was shown by a Cronbach’s α value of 0.93. The validity of eSCIM III was confirmed by the close correlation with FIM (r?=?0.94, p?<?0.0001). The sensitivity to change of eSCIM III was also confirmed. Conclusions: eSCIM III was found to be culturally equivalent to the original version, as reliability and validity of this tool were demonstrated. It can be used in Spain for functional assessment of patients with spinal cord injury.

• Implications for Rehabilitation

• Development of the Spanish version of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure version III.

• The importance of the adaptation of Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) is that it guarantees the possibility of measuring the same concept in different cultures and countries.

• The eSCIM III is the first, specific assessment tool in patients with spinal cord injury adapted for its use in Spain.

• The eSCIM III is a tool conceptually equivalent to the original version. It has the reliability and validity of SCIM III in order to be used by clinicians.

Reliability,validity, and responsiveness of the Persian version of Shoulder Activity Scale in a group of patients with shoulder disorders

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this methodological study was to cross-culturally translate the Shoulder Activity Scale (SAS) into the Persian and determine its clinimetric properties including reliability, validity, and responsiveness in patients with shoulder disorders. Method: Persian version of the SAS was obtained after standard forward-backward translation. Three questionnaires were completed by the respondents: SAS, shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), and Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36). The patients completed the SAS, 1 week after the first visit to evaluate the test–retest reliability. Construct validity was evaluated by examining the associations between the scores on the SAS and the scores obtained from the SPADI, SF-36, and age of the patients. To assess responsiveness, data were collected in the first visit and then again after 4 weeks physiotherapy intervention. Test–retest reliability and internal consistency were assessed using Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha, respectively. To evaluate construct validity, Spearman’s rank correlation was used. The ability of the SAS to detect changes was evaluated by the receiver-operating characteristics method. Results: No problem or language difficulties were reported during translation process. Test–retest reliability of the SAS was excellent with an ICC of 0.98. Also, the marginal Cronbach’s alpha level of 0.64 was obtained. The correlation between the SAS and the SPADI was low, proving divergent validity, whereas the correlations between the SAS and the SF-36/age were moderate proving convergent validity. A marginally acceptable responsiveness was achieved for the Persian SAS. Conclusions: The study provides some evidences to support the test–retest reliability, internal consistency, construct validity, and responsiveness of the Persian version of the SAS in patients with shoulder disorders. Therefore, it seems that this instrument is a useful measure of shoulder activity level in research setting and clinical practice.

• Implications for Rehabilitation

• The shoulder activity scale (SAS) is a reliable, valid, and responsive measure of shoulder activity level in Persian-speaking patients with different shoulder disorders.

• The results on clinimetric properties of the Persian SAS are comparable with its original, English version.

• Persian version of the SAS can be used in “clinical” and “research” settings of patients with shoulder disorders.
