Translation, adaptation and measurement properties of an electronic version of the Danish Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI)

Abstract

ObjectivesTo translate and adapt the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability (WOSI) questionnaire into Danish and, to evaluate measurement properties of an electronic Danish WOSI version.MethodsThe Swedish WOSI version was used for translation and adaptation into Danish followed by examination of test-retest reproducibility (14-day interval) besides concurrent and construct validity. Concurrent validity was examined by comparing WOSI in paper version with an electronic version, whereas construct validity was examined by comparing WOSI with Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS). Reproducibility was evaluated with Intraclass correlations (ICC), Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC) and limits of agreement (LOA). Validity was evaluated with Pearson’s (r) and Concordance Correlation Coefficients (CCC).Results41 subjects (median age 34, range 18–57) were included in the analysis of reproducibility. An ICC of 0.97 (95% CI 0.95 to 0.99) for the total WOSI score was found. SEM was 100.1, resulting in an MDC of 277.5 and LOAs within the range of -246.4 and 308.6. 25 subjects (median age 34, range 18–72) were included in the analysis of concurrent validity obtaining a CCC of 0.96 (95% CI 0.91 to 0.98). Construct validity was investigated in 62 subjects (median age 31, range 18–72) obtaining correlations of 0.83 (95% CI 0.68 to 0.97) (NPRS) and 0.79 (95% CI 0.62 to 0.94) (OSS).ConclusionsAn electronic Danish version of WOSI presented excellent test-retest reproducibility and acceptable measurement errors. Also, concurrent validity between paper and electronic version was highly satisfactory as was the construct validity. Surprisingly, though, the NPRS correlated more with WOSI than OSS.

Translation into Portuguese, adaptation, and validity assessment of the food safety climate self‐assessment tool

“…In the present study, satisfactory kappa scores were obtained (>0.70; p > .05). Further, the Pearson's correlation coefficients obtained in the present study (>.80) were similar to those of instruments in previous translation studies (Eshoj, Bak, Blond, & Juul‐Kristensen, ; Min, Chang, Lee, Choe, & An, ; Rocha & Hershey, ) and they indicate good correlations (Malloy‐Diniz et al, ; Rocha & Hershey, ; Tavares & Santos, ).…”

Positive effects of neuromuscular shoulder exercises with or without EMG-biofeedback, on pain and function in participants with subacromial pain syndrome – A randomised controlled trial

“…Primary outcome was self-reported pain intensity during the past 7 days NPRS (Eshoj et al, 2017). from three scapular muscles: UT, LT and SA, during standardised arm task, with data extraction in the range of the painful arc (60° to 120° arm elevation) (Ludewig and Cook, 2000).…”

“…All ITT analyses were performed blinded to group allocation carried out according to pre-established analysis plan (Juul-Kristensen et al, 2017), with an external epidemiologist performing the analysis for the primary outcome, and all co-authors approving and signing the blinded interpretation (Jarvinen et al, 2014).…”

Neuromuscular Exercises Improve Shoulder Function More Than Standard Care Exercises in Patients With a Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Dislocation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…26 A reliable and validated Danish version of the WOSI was used. 12 Secondary patient-reported outcomes were the subdomain scores (physical symptoms, sport function, lifestyle, emotions) of the WOSI collected at baseline and weeks 4, 8, and 12. Further secondary patient-reported outcome measures included the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, 35,47 the EuroQol 5-Dimensions questionnaire, 38 and the Patient-Specific Functional Scale 7 as well as pain intensity now, average pain intensity in the past 24 hours, and average pain intensity in the previous 7 days using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS).…”
