VISA- anketinin standart Arapça dilinde kültürler arası uyarlaması, güvenilirliği ve geçerliliği

This study aims to perform a Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the VISA-A questionnaire in standard Arabic language and to calculate the reliability and validity of this new version. Cross-cultural adaptation was carried out in accordance with established procedures. 75 Arabic patients with Achilles Tendinopathy agreed to take part in the study and completed the questionnaire. Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha. After two weeks the Test-retest reliability was calculated using the Intraclass correlation coefficient. Spearman correlation coefficient was used to calculate construct validity with Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) was calculated. To assess measurements errors (SEM) and (MDC) were calculated.The internal consistency of the Arabic Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles Tendon was excellent, with a Cronbach's alpha of.87. The test-retest reliability was outstanding (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was .91).Correlation with Lower Extremity Functional Scale was high which reflects excellent construct validity (.83). Standard Error Measurement (SEM) was 2.37 and at the individual level, Minimal Detectable Change MDC was 6.57 and 1.3 at the group level. Arabic Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles Tendon was created. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity were all excellent in this tool. In the Middle-East and Africa region, the questionnaire is appropriate for Achilles Tendinopathy patients.
