Cross-cultural adaptation and test-retest reliability assessment of a Swedish version of the exercise adherence rating scale in patients after shoulder surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adherence to prescribed home exercise is an important predictor for the long-term effectiveness of exercise therapy and therefore important to evaluate. The Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS) is a valid and reliable tool to assess exercise adherence behavior, but it is not translated into Swedish. This study aimed to translate EARS into Swedish and to explore the psychometric properties in terms of test-retest reliability, internal consistency as well and possible floor-/ceiling effects.

Materials and methods

  A translation and cultural adaptation process followed international guidelines and resulted in EARS-Sv. A total of 30 patients who had undergone shoulder surgery were included in the study and filled out EARS-Sv at two different time points. The test-r
