Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Romanian International Knee Documentation Committee-subjective knee form.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

We aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the International Knee Documentation Committee-subjective knee form (IKDC) in Romanian.

Method

The original (US) IKDC-subjective knee form was translated according to recommended guidelines. Validity was tested using Spearmans's correlation coefficient between score sand test-retest reproducibility. Reliability and internal consistency were determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

Results

A total of 106 data sets were available for processing. The average age was 52 years and the male to female ratio was 40:66. Fifty-five subjects repeated the form after an average of 4 days. There were no floor or ceiling effects (range 3.4-74.7). There was a strong correlation bet
