Cross cultural adaptation and multi centric validation of the italian version of the Tegner Activity Scale
No full textBackground. This study aims to adapt the Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) to Italian language and establish its reliability and validity in patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It was hypnotized the Italian version of the TAS have acceptable psychometric properties for use with the Italian population. Methods. This is an observational multicenter study. The Tegner Activity Scale was translated and culturally adapted according to the Beaton guidelines. A web-based survey was conducted to evaluate the construct validity: 62 patients were included in the study. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (r) between the TAS and the Short Form 36 (SF-36) subscales and the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) was used to evaluate construct validity. The patients completed the TAS again one week after their first submission, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was used to calculate the test-retest reliability. Results. The correlation coefficient showed moderate correlation with the SF-36 Physical Function domain (r = 0.41; p = 0.001) and weak correlation with the IKDC (r = 0.3; p = 0.02). Correlations with the other SF-36 subscales were very weak and not statistically significant. Test-retest reliability (0.68, 95%CI 0.43-0.83) ranged from good to excellent. Conclusions. The Italian version of the Tegner Activity Scale is a valid instrument to assess a patient’s level of sporting activity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Cultural adaptation of this scale is fundamental to make this instrument comparable throughout scientific literature. © 2023, EDRA S.p.A. All rights reserved

Validity and Reliability of the Thai Versions of the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale and Tegner Activity Scale
No full textBackground: Functional or quality of life questionnaires are important tools in clinical investigations. The Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale and Tegner Activity Scale are knee-specific questionnaires that are widely used to assess knee function. Purpose: To translate both questionnaires into Thai and to assess the validity and reliability of the Thai versions of the Lysholm and adjusted Tegner scales. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The Lysholm and Tegner scales were translated into Thai by using the forward-backward translation protocol. Because cultural modifications were made to the sports used to measure activity on the Tegner scale, the authors of this study refer to the Thai version as the “Thai adjusted Tegner scale.” The reliability and validity of the translated scales were evaluated by obtaining the responses of 60 consecutive patients (mean age, 40.5 years; 34 male, 26 female); the patients also completed the Thai version of the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC-SKF). Criterion validity was tested by correlating the scores from both translated questionnaires with those from the Thai IKDC-SKF, while reliability was assessed by measuring test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Results: The Thai Lysholm scale showed a strong correlation with the Thai IKDC-SKF (r = 0.89), while the Thai adjusted Tegner scale showed a moderate correlation with the Thai IKDC-SKF (r = 0.60). The intrarater and test-retest reliability measures were excellent for the Thai Lysholm (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], 0.94 and 0.98, respectively) and moderate to good for the Thai adjusted Tegner (ICC, 0.73 and 0.86, respectively). The internal consistency for the Thai Lysholm was acceptable at all the time points (Cronbach alpha, 0.71-0.73). Conclusion: The Thai Lysholm and Thai adjusted Tegner scales adequately retained the characteristics of the original versions. They can be considered reliable instruments for Thai patients with knee-related problems.Validerad;2023;Nivå 2;2023-03-15 (joosat);Licens fulltext: CC BY-NC-ND License</p
Dutch Translation and Cross-cultural Adaption of the Lysholm Score and Tegner Activity Scale for Patients With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
No full textStudy Design Clinical measurement. Background The Lysholm score and Tegner Activity Scale are frequently used patient-reported instruments to determine the functional status and activity level after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Objectives To translate and cross-culturally adapt the Lysholm score and Tegner Activity Scale for use in the Dutch population and to evaluate reliability and validity of these questionnaires in individuals after ACL reconstruction. Methods The translation and adaptation was conducted in several steps according to the guidelines in the literature. The measurement properties of the Lysholm score and Tegner Activity Scale (internal consistency, construct validity, and floor and ceiling effects) were tested in 96 patients. Reproducibility was tested in 69 patients, for patient with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. On the first occasion, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and RAND-36 item Health Survey (RAND-36) were also administered. Results The Lysholm score and Tegner Activity Scale showed good test-retest reliability between repeated measures (respectively ICC 0.93 and 0.97). Internal consistency was reasonable to good (Cronbach's α=0.70-0.83). The Lysholm score had a very strong correlation with the IKDC (r= 0.83, p<0.01) and moderate correlation with the RAND-36 (r=0.55, p<0.01). The Tegner Activity Scale had a moderate correlation with both IKDC and the RAND-36 (r= 0.42 p<0.01 respectively r= 0.48 p<0.01). Conclusion This study demonstrated acceptable psychometric performances for the Lysholm score and the Tegner scale as outcome measures for Dutch patients after ACL reconstruction.

The Reliability, Validity, and Responsiveness of the Lysholm Score and Tegner Activity Scale for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries of the Knee
No full textBackground: In 1982, the Lysholm score was first published as a physician-administered score in the American Journal of Sports Medicine. The Tegner activity scale was published in 1985.Hypothesis: The Lysholm and Tegner scores are valid as patient-administered scores and responsive at early time points after treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tears.Study Design: Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 1. Methods: All patients were treated for an anterior cruciate ligament tear. For responsiveness, the Lysholm score (n = 1075) and Tegner activity level (n = 505) were measured preoperatively and 6, 9, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. For test-retest (n = 50), scores were measured at 2 years postoperatively and again within 4 weeks by questionnaire. For criterion validity (n = 170), patients completed the Short Form-12 and the International Knee Documentation Committee score in addition to Lysholm and Tegner instruments. For all other analyses, preoperative Lysholm score (n = 1783) or Tegner activity levels (n = 687) were collected.Results: There was acceptable test-retest reliability for both the Lysholm (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.9) and Tegner (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.8) scores. The minimum detectable change for Lysholm was 8.9 and for Tegner was 1. The Lysholm demonstrated acceptable internal consistency. The Lysholm correlated with the International Knee Documentation Committee (r = .8) and the Short Form-12 (r = .4), and Tegner correlated with the Short Form-12 (r = .2). Both scores had acceptable floor and ceiling effects and all hypotheses were significant. The Lysholm and Tegner were responsive to change at each of the time points.Conclusion: After 25 years of changes in treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, the Lysholm knee score and the Tegner activity scale demonstrated acceptable psychometric parameters as patient-administered scores and showed acceptable responsiveness to be used in early return to function after anterior cruciate ligament treatment.</p

Entwicklung und Evaluation einer deutschen Version der Tegner Aktivitätsskala zur Erfassung der Funktion nach einer Verletzung des vorderen Kreuzbands
No full textBACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to provide a valid and reliable German version of the Tegner activity scale (Tegner-G). The Tegner activity scale assesses on 11 levels the activity in sports (competitive and recreational) and work of patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. The English original version was elaborated in Sweden and contains sports that are unknown in German-speaking countries. METHODS: The translation and adaptation was conducted in several steps according to the guidelines in the literature. The validity (discriminative validity and content validity) and (absolute and relative) reliability were determined in 46 patients after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and in 20 healthy subjects. The patients were divided into an acute group ( 0.9). The minimal detectable change was 1.4 points. The relation between activity (Tegner-G) and function (Lysholm-G) was stronger in the acute than in the chronic patient group (ρ = 0.77 and ρ = 0.60, respectively). CONCLUSION: The psychometric properties of the Tegner-G are comparable to those of the English original version. The Tegner-G is thus valid and reliable for the German-speaking part of Switzerland. The application in other German-speaking countries probably requires adaptations for some of the sports included. The relation between activity and function changes depending on time since operation. This confirms that a comprehensive assessment of the outcome after an anterior cruciate ligament injury requires the separate assessment of both parameters
