    The Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI): Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Validity of the Turkish Version
    (2015) Aytar, Aydan; Yuruk, Zeliha Ozlem; Tuzun, Emine Handan; Baltaci, Gul; Karatas, Metin; Eker, Levent; 25322741; HIR-3735-2022
    BACKGROUND: Turkish version of the Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) may help to assess shoulder function in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SAIS). OBJECTIVE: To translate and cross-culturally adapted UEFI into Turkish and to assess its acceptability, reliability, validity in patients with SAIS. METHODS: This study conducted with 93 SAIS participants. UEFI, the short version of the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scale (Quick DASH), the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) were administered. Acceptability was assessed in terms of refusal rate, rates of missing responses, and administration time. Test-retest reliability was assessed with intra class correlation coefficient (ICC), internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Validity was assessed by floor and ceiling effects, skew of distributions and Pearson's correlation coefficients. RESULTS: Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the UEFI at Time 1 and Time 2 were as follows: alpha = 0.89 and alpha = 0.89. Average measure ICC was 0.80. The UEFI score demonstrated strong negative correlations with SPADI total score and Quick DASH score. There was not a significant correlation between the UEFI and mental health subscale score derived from SF-36. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish version of UEFI is acceptable, valid, and reliable.

    Reliability of Pressure Pain Thresholds in Healthy Young Adults
    (2014) Aytar, Aydan; Senbursa, Gamze; Baltaci, Gul; Yuruk, Zeliha Ozlem; Pekyavas, Nihan Ozunlu; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4408-6489; HIR-3735-2022; AAC-6522-2020
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of pressure pain threshold [PPT] measurements in the supraspinatus muscle tendon, anterior talofibuler ligament, and the extensor digitorum communis muscle belly in healthy young subjects. Methods: A total of 100 healthy undergraduates participated in this study. Two examiners had three trials of measuring the supraspinatus muscle tendon, anterior talofibuler ligament, and extensor digitorum communis muscle belly on the dominant side, which were marked by the first examiner [E1]. Three consecutive measurements were taken with a 60-s interval between trials. The average of three measurements was calculated for each region. After a 60-min interval, the same procedure was repeated by the second examiner [E2] on the same day. Results: Our results indicated that E1 and E2 showed high intra-rater reliability. Significant difference was found between E1 and E2 in anterior talofibular ligament and extensor digitorum communis muscle belly threshold average measurements [p < 0.05], but no significant difference was found at supraspinatus muscle tendon [p > 0.05]. Low significant correlation and reliability was found between E1 and E2 for all measurement sites. Conclusions: Our study results indicated that intra-rater reliability of PPT measurements on tendon, ligament, and muscle belly was high. We found that inter-rater reliability was low in the anterior talofibular ligament and supraspinatus muscle tendon, and adequate in muscle belly. Measurements by one examiner were more reliable than measurements between examiners. This study could be reference for future studies to measure reliability on three different anatomical regions.

    Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Lower Limb Functional Index
    (2015) Duruturk, Neslihan; Tonga, Eda; Gabel, Charles Philip; Acar, Manolya; Tekindal, Agah; 0000-0002-4060-7048; 25777549; AAD-3908-2020; ACK-5152-2022
    Purpose: This study aims to adapt culturally a Turkish version of the Lower Limb Functional Index (LLFI) and to determine its validity, reliability, internal consistency, measurement sensitivity and factor structure in lower limb problems. Method: The LLFI was translated into Turkish and cross-culturally adapted with a double forward-backward protocol that determined face and content validity. Individuals (n = 120) with lower limb musculoskeletal disorders completed the LLFI and Short Form-36 questionnaires and the Timed Up and Go physical test. The psychometric properties were evaluated for the all participants from patient-reported outcome measures made at baseline and repeated at day 3 to determine criterion between scores (Pearson's r), internal consistency (Cronbachs alpha) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient - ICC2.1). Error was determined using standard error of the measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change at the 90% level (MDC90), while factor structure was determined using exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood extraction and Varimax rotation. Results: The psychometric characteristics showed strong criterion validity (r = 0.74-0.76), high internal consistency (alpha = 0.82) and high test-retest reability (ICC2.1 = 0.97). The SEM of 3.2% gave an MDC90 = 5.8%. The factor structure was uni-dimensional. Conclusions: Turkish version of LLFI was found to be valid and reliable for the measurement of lower limb function in a Turkish population.
