The validity and reliability of a Japanese version of the web-based hamstring outcome score.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to translate a web-based hamstring outcome score (HaOS) questionnaire to the Japanese context. First, the validity and reliability of the translated questionnaires were examined among Japanese athletes. Second, the association between the previous history of hamstring strain and HaOS was examined. The translation was performed according to internationally recognized methodologies. A total of 233 athletes were asked to complete the HaOS questionnaire, and four questions were added to examine the content validity of the questionnaire. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to evaluate the test-retest reliability. Internal consistency was determined by calculating Cronbach's alpha values. The translated questionnaires had high acceptance and compliance rates,
