Dutch translation, adaptation and validation of the OT-10 scale for orthostatic tremor

ABSTRACT: Highlights • An adequate OT severity scale is needed for clinical trials and clinical practice.• Through translation and adaptation, we obtained a Dutch version of the OT-10 scale.• The Dutch OT-10 scale demonstrated acceptable validity in a Dutch OT population.

Introduction

There are currently no effective treatments for primary orthostatic tremor (POT). An adequate disease-specific POT severity scale is a prerequisite to conduct clinical trials and monitor disease severity in clinical practice. Recently, the English OT-10 scale has been developed for this purpose. Here we aimed to obtain a scale to measure the severity of POT in Dutch speaking individuals.

Methods

An established translation, adaptation and validation approach was employed to obtain a Dutch version of th
