“…Higher scores indicate greater disability [34]. The NPAD has shown to be a valid and responsive measure of disability in other languages [3, 6, 8, 17, 19, 21, 22, 29, 34, 35]. The NPAD–DLV was used in this study; the reproducibility is acceptable [15].…”

“…A normal distribution of the total scores of the NPAD–DLV and NDI–DLV was expected (Hypothesis 1), a good completeness of item responses (Hypothesis 2), and no floor and ceiling effects in item responses were expected (Hypothesis 3) [6, 7, 17, 19, 34, 35]. It was expected that scores on the NDI in a tertiary rehabilitation setting would be significantly higher than those in a Dutch primary care setting (Hypothesis 4) [6, 14, 19, 20, 26, 33, 34].…”

“…The most frequently used neck disability questionnaires are the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPAD) [34] and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) [32], which are validated in several languages [2, 3, 6, 8, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22, 29, 35]. The validity of the Dutch Language Versions (DLV) of the NPAD and NDI has not been studied.…”

PurposeTo investigate the validity of the Neck Pain and Disability Scale Dutch Language Version (NPAD-DLV) and the Neck Disability Index (NDI)-DLV.MethodsNPAD–DLV, NDI–DLV, Short-Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36)-DLV, visual analog scale (VAS)pain and VASdisability were administered to 112 patients with non-specific chronic neck pain in an outpatient tertiary rehabilitation setting. Twenty seven hypotheses were formulated regarding validity. NPAD–DLV and NDI–DLV were evaluated for content validity (normal distribution total scores, missing items, floor and ceiling effects), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha and Spearman Item–total correlations), construct validity (Pearson correlations with SF-36 domains, VASpain and VASdisability and Pearson correlation between total scores of NPAD–DLV and NDI–DLV).ResultsNPAD–DLV and NDI–DLV scores were distributed normally. Missing items were negligible. Floor and ceiling effects were absent in NPAD–DLV and in NDI–DLV two items had floor effects and one item had a ceiling effect. Cronbach’s alpha of NPAD–DLV was 0.93 and of NDI–DLV 0.83. Item–total correlations ranged for NPAD–DLV from 0.45 to 0.73 and for NDI–DLV from 0.40 to 0.64. The correlation between, respectively, NPAD–DLV and NDI–DLV and: SF-36 domains ranged from −0.36 to −0.70 and from −0.34 to −0.63; VASpain was 0.54 and 0.43; VASdisability was 0.57 and 0.52. The correlation between the total scores of NPAD–DLV and NDI–DLV was 0.77. Twenty six hypotheses were not rejected and one hypothesis was rejected.ConclusionThe NPAD–DLV and NDI–DLV are valid measures of self-reported neck-pain related disability.

“…18 The primary aim of this study was to explore interobserver reliability of the modified PDS (mPDS) and modified cNOS (mcNOS) in patients with CNP in an outpatient tertiary rehabilitation setting. The secondary aim was to explore construct validity of the mPDS and mcNOS by testing 5 a priori hypotheses about the expected relationships of mPDS and mcNOS scores with self-reported disability assessed with the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPAD) 6,23,53,56 and pain intensity assessed with the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). 11,38,55 Hypotheses were formed based on previous studies in this area (hypotheses 1-4, TABLE 1).…”

Polish adaptation of Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace and Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Deformity

Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Brace and Bad Sobernheim Stress Questionnaire-Deformity are relatively new tools aimed at facilitating the evaluation of long-term results of therapy in persons with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing conservative treatment. To use these tools properly in Poland, they must be translated into Polish and adapted to the Polish cultural settings. The process of cultural adaptation of the questionnaires was compliant with the guidelines of International Quality of Life Assessment (IQOLA) Project. In the first stage, two independent translators converted the originals into Polish. Stage two, consisted of a comparison of the originals and two translated versions. During that stage, the team of two translators and authors of the project identified differences in those translations and created a combination of the two. In the third stage, two independent translators, who were native speakers of German, translated the adjusted version of the Polish translation into the language of the original document. At the last stage, a commission composed of: specialists in orthopedics, translators, a statistician and a psychologist reviewed all translations and drafted a prefinal version of the questionnaires. Thirty-five adolescent girls with idiopathic scoliosis who were treated with Cheneau brace were subjected to the questionnaire assessment. All patients were treated in an out-patient setting by a specialist in orthopedics at the Chair and Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology. Median age of patients was 14.8 SD 1.5, median value of the Cobb's angle was 27.8°SD 7.4. 48.6% of patients had thoracic scoliosis, 31.4% had thoracolumbar scoliosis, and 20% patients had lumbar scoliosis. Median results obtained by means of the Polish version of BSSQ-Brace and BSSQ-Deformity questionnaires were 17.9 SD 5.0 and 11.3 SD 4.7, respectively. Internal consistency of BSSQ-Brace and BSSQ-Deformity was at the level of 0.80 and 0.87, whereas the value of the absolute stability factor was 0.82 and 0.88. Overall, the Polish versions of the BSSQ-Brace and BSSQ-Deformity Questionnaires are characterized by high values of internal consistency factor and absolute stability factor. Following the process of adaptation, the authors obtained a tool that is instrumental in clinical evaluations and complies with methodological criteria.
