The SPADI is the most frequently evaluated PROM and its measurement properties seem adequate apart from a lack of information regarding its measurement error and content validity .
Dutch users could use either the SDQ or the SST .
In Tamil , Slovene , Spanish and the Danish language s , the evaluated PROMs were not yet of acceptable validity .
None of these PROMs showed strong positive evidence for all measurement properties .
Objective To critically appraise and compare the measurement properties of self-administered patient-reported outcome measures ( PROMs ) focussing on the shoulder , assessing “ activity limitations . ”
Translation, adaptation and validation of the Shoulder Rating Questionnaire (SRQ) into the Dutch language
Objective : To translate and adapt the original English version of the Shoulder Rating Question naire ( SRQ ) into the Dutch language ( SRQ-DLV ) and evaluate its internal consistency , reliability , validity and responsiveness to clinical changes . Design : Prospect i ve study . Setting : Outpatient departments of orthopaedics , radiology and physical therapy of an academic and a non-academic hospital . Subjects : One hundred and seven patients treated for unilateral shoulder disorder ( adhesive capsulitis 68 , calcifying tendinitis 22 , impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tear 17 ) . Methods : The original SRQ was translated and adapted following international guidelines . The SRQ-DLV was used among other measures of body function and structure , activities and societal participation in order to determine reliability , internal consistency , validity and responsiveness . Assessment s were done at baseline and three months after treatment , with the SRQ-DLV being re-administered within one week before the baseline measurement and the start of the treatment for testing reliability . Results : Cronbach 's alpha for internal consistency was 0.89 for the total question naire and 0.81 , 0.80 , 0.72 and 0.84 for the domains pain , daily activities , sports/recreational activities and work , respectively . Test-retest reliability of the SRQ-DLV and its subscales ranged from 0.63 to 0.86 . The summary score of the SRQ-DLV correlated with measures of shoulder function , daily activities and quality of life . Except for the work subscale of the SRQ-DLV , large effect sizes , reflecting its responsiveness to clinical changes after treatment , were found for both the summary and the subscales scores . Conclusions : Empirical data support that the SRQ-DLV is a reliable , valid and responsive measure to be used in clinical trials including Dutch patients with various shoulder disorders
