Objective: To assess the internal construct validity, including local independence, unidimensionality, monotonicity, and invariance, reliability, targeting of Forgotten Joint Score within Rasch Measurement Theory framework. Design: Cross-sectional study. Patients: A total 111 patients with hip arthroplasty at least 3 months after surgery. Methods: The was submitted to each subject during their rehabilitative treatment in an Italian centre then analysis. Results: base analysis showed a...
The prevalence and cost of musculoskeletal diseases increased dramatically over the past few decades. Therefore, several institutions have begun to re-evaluate quality their educational paths. However, current standardized questionnaires inadequately assess knowledge, other musculoskeletal-specific exams limitations in implementation. 30-question multiple choice questionnaire (MSK-30) was proposed as a new tool for assessing basic knowledge.
Valid and reliable patient-reported outcome measures support health professionals in evaluating the results of clinical research practice. The Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale (CNFDS) has shown promising measurement properties to measure disability patients with neck pain, but an Italian version this questionnaire is not available. objective study was cross-culturally adapt CNFDS into (CNFDS-I), assess its validity reliability pain.The CNFDS-I developed according well-established...
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries are increasing; to assess quality of life after THA, an instrument that considers patient’s perspective on surgical outcomes is necessary. The objective this study the psychometric properties Italian version Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-I) in patients with THA. FJS-I was administered 111 as well Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), EuroQol 5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L). Structural validity [confirmatory factor analysis...
The point prevalence of Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) as a cause Low Back Pain (LBP) is estimated at 0.04% in primary care, and it reported complication about 2% patients with disc herniation. Compression the cauda equina usually occurs result prolapse. However, CES may be caused by any space-occupying lesion, including spinal stenosis, neoplasms, cysts, infection, osteophytes. First contact physiotherapists encounter early CES, clinical presentation can mimic non-specific LBP.This case report...
Abstract Objective To translate and cross‐culturally adapt the Headache Disability Inventory (HDI) into Italian study its reliability validity. Methods A total of 132 participants with primary secondary headaches were included. The translation was performed following international guidelines forward back procedures. Structural validity, internal consistency, test–retest reliability, measurement error, construct validity studied. Test–retest error tested on a subsample 32 participants....
