Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of S-ROM-Neck

September 3, 2021 updated by: Emine Aslan Telci, Pamukkale University

Cross-cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Validity of Self Administered Neck Mobility Assessment Tool (S-ROM-Neck): Turkish Version

Patient-reported joint motion assessment tools have been developed and applied successfully in several joints of the body. "The Self Administered Neck Mobility Assessment Tool (S-ROM-Neck)" questionnaire was developed by Langenfeld et al in 2018. With this questionnaire, the clinicians are able to evaluate the neck joint motion perception of the patients, subjectively. There is no Turkish version of the questionnaire. The aim of our study is to develop the Turkish version of the S-ROM-Neck questionnaire, to analyze its cultural adaptation, and to reveal its validity and reliability.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Neck pain leads to a decreased range of motion in the cervical spine, bringing along functional losses. As a result, this situation is associated with many disabilities. Evaluation of neck joint motion is essential in patients with chronic neck pain. It is used to evaluate the neck pain level and functional deficit level of the patient. In this way, it is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment applied to the patient during the rehabilitation process. Generally, this evaluation can be made and interpreted by an experienced clinician. However, patient perception provides a better understanding of patients' needs and problems by converting clinical data into a patient-centered measure. Moreover, the patient's perspective can add valuable information to the examination by creating a holistic picture of the patient's problems, possible needs, and expectations. In 2018, the "Self Administered Neck Mobility Assessment Tool (S-ROM-Neck)" survey was developed by Langenfeld et al. With this questionnaire, developers purposed to evaluate the neck joint motion perception of the patients, subjectively. There is no Turkish version of the questionnaire. The aim of our study is to develop the Turkish version of the S-ROM-Neck questionnaire, to analyze its cultural adaptation, and to reveal its validity and reliability.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
S-ROM-Neck
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The scale includes six questions that target the primary movements of the neck joint (i.e. flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion). Patients are asked to actively perform each neck movement and then rate the restriction they perceive during movement. This is done for each of the 6 directions of motion. Perceived restriction may be due to pain, stiffness, and/or tension. S-ROM-Neck has a structure scored with a visual analog scale (VAS). The left side contains the words "none" to indicate severe ROM restriction and the right side "as far as I want" to indicate maximum ROM. Explanatory pictures accompany each question. The total score is calculated by adding individual scores (minimum score [600] = no restriction; maximum score [0] = total restriction).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analog Scale
Time Frame: 2 minutes
It is scored between 0 and 10. While 0 indicates no pain, 10 indicates the most severe pain. With this scale, which is frequently used in individuals with chronic low back pain, the resting and activity pain of the individuals will be questioned.
2 minutes
Neck Disability Index
Time Frame: 5 minutes
The Neck Disability Index consists of 10 sections: pain intensity, personal care, weight lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work-life, driving, sleep and leisure activities. Each segment has a value ranging from zero (positive case) to five points (negative state). The total score on the Neck Disability Index ranges from zero to 50, and the high score corresponds to high disability.
5 minutes
Neck range of motion (ROM) measurement with inclinometer
Time Frame: 10 minutes
Cervical region flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation movements will be evaluated with a Baseline Bubble Inclinometer. The inclinometer is a valid and reliable method for evaluating the cervical range of motion (14). While evaluating the flexion, extension and lateral flexion movements in the cervical region with the inclinometer, it was placed at the top of the head as the pivot point and the participant will be asked to perform the movement to the endpoint and return to the previous position. For rotation movement, the inclinometer will be placed on the participant's forehead in the supine position, and rotation movement will be requested from the patient. The value measured in the inclinometer will be recorded. Each move will be evaluated 3 times separately and its average will be noted.
