Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI)

Abstract Study design Clinical measurement. Background The Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) is a patient reported outcome (PRO) measure with sound clinimetric properties and clinical viability for determination of upper limb function. Purpose-methods The aims of this study were to cross-culturally...

description Abstract Study design Clinical measurement. Background The Upper Limb Functional Index (ULFI) is a patient reported outcome (PRO) measure with sound clinimetric properties and clinical viability for determination of upper limb function. Purpose-methods The aims of this study were to cross-culturally adapt the ULFI for Turkish-speaking patients (ULFI-Tk) and investigate the reliability and validity in patients with upper limb problems. Patients (n=l02, age 49.1±16.6) with upper limb disorders were consecutively recruited. All participants completed the ULFI-Tk and the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand Turkish-version (DASH-Tk) criterion at baseline and day-three. Results The ULFI-Tk demonstrated good internal consistency (α=0.87), moderate criterion validity (DASH-Tk:r=0.68;p
