Lymphoedema Functioning, Disability and Health Questionnaire for Lower Limb Lymphoedema (Lymph-ICF-LL): Reliability and Validity

Abstract

The Lymph-ICF-LL is a Dutch questionnaire with evidence of reliability and validity for assessing impairments in function, activity limitations, and participation restrictions in people with primary or secondary lower limb lymphedema.

The Lymphedema Functioning, Disability, and Health Questionnaire for Lower Limb Lymphedema: Translation, reliability, and validation study of the Turkish version

“…[18] In another study, the Cronbach alpha values of the original version were 0.96 for the total score of the Lymph-ICF-LL and 0.89 to 0.97 for the scores of the various domains. [13] In the present study, similar alpha values were found (range, 0.79 to 0.97). These results indicate that the Turkish version of the Lymph-ICF-LL is reliable and may be applicable in clinical research and practice in lower limb lymphedema by all specialists.…”

“…In the original version, test-retest reliabilities were also very strong (ICC>0.90) for the total scores of the questionnaire and for the scores of the physical function, general tasks/household activities, and mobility domains. [13] The test-retest variability was strong (ICC= 0.79 to 0.93) for the scores of the mental function and life domains/social life domains. This may be due to the fact that the first and second Lymph-ICF-LL were conducted at different times.…”

Psychometric evaluation of a Chinese version of Lymphoedema Functioning, Disability and Health Questionnaire for Lower Limb Lymphoedema in women with gynaecological cancer surgery

“…The Lymphoedema Functioning, Disability and Health Questionnaire for Lower Limb Lymphoedema (Lymph‐ICF‐LL) have been developed to assess patients’ physical and mental function, activity limitations and participation restrictions due to limb lymphoedema (Devoogdt et al, ). Although several scales have been developed to assess lymphoedema, we intended to adopt and translate the Lymph‐ICF‐LL scale because it not only assesses the physical symptoms of LLL and also assesses the impact of quality of life due to LLL comprehensively.…”
