Measurement Properties of the Turkish Version of the Patellofemoral Pain and Osteoarthritis Subscale of the KOOS

September 29, 2023 updated by: Sevim Beyza Ölmez, Gazi University

Translation, Cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Patellofemoral Pain and Osteoarthritis Subscale of the KOOS (KOOS PF)

The purpose of this study is to translate and culturally adapt the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) into Turkish, and to determine the measurement properties of the Turkish version.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patellofemoral pain and patellofemoral osteoarthritis are highly prevalent knee disorders associated with pain and functional limitations. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are suggested for clinical and research use; however, there is a lack of objective disease-specific PROMs for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to translate and culturally adapt the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) into Turkish, and to determine the measurement properties of the Turkish version.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF)
Time Frame: first day
The subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) is a disease-specific PROM designed to evaluate pain, stiffness, and quality of life in patients with patellofemoral pain and/or osteoarthritis. It has 11 items that assess three domains: stiffness (1 item), pain (9 items), and quality of life (1 item). Each item consists of five response options with a score between 0 and 4. The total score ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
first day
the Kujala's Anterior Pain Scale (AKPS)
Time Frame: first day
The Kujala's Anterior Pain Scale (AKPS) is a self-administered questionnaire designed for patellofemoral disorders. It consists of 13 items on symptoms and functional limitations. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating less functional status
first day
the Short Form-36 health survey (SF-36)
Time Frame: first day
The short-form 36 (SF-36) health survey is a tool for assessing general health-related quality of life. It consists of 36 questions divided into eight domains, which are then merged under two large headings: physical component summary and mental component summary. The total score varies between 0 and 100. Higher ratings indicate a better quality of life.
first day
the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF)
Time Frame: 7-14 days after
The subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) is a disease-specific PROM designed to evaluate pain, stiffness, and quality of life in patients with patellofemoral pain and/or osteoarthritis. It has 11 items that assess three domains: stiffness (1 item), pain (9 items), and quality of life (1 item). Each item consists of five response options with a score between 0 and 4. The total score ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
7-14 days after
the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF)
Time Frame: 3 months after
The subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) is a disease-specific PROM designed to evaluate pain, stiffness, and quality of life in patients with patellofemoral pain and/or osteoarthritis. It has 11 items that assess three domains: stiffness (1 item), pain (9 items), and quality of life (1 item). Each item consists of five response options with a score between 0 and 4. The total score ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
3 months after
the global rating of change (GROC)
Time Frame: 3 months after
The global rating of change (GROC) score is a single-item questionnaire with five potential responses depending on the patient's change in knee pain following the initial assessment. Likert scale with five response options: "0 points" (much worse), "1 points" (slightly worse), "2 points" (about the same), "3 points" (slightly better), and "4 points" (much better).
3 months after
