Overview
Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used in total knee arthroplasty focus more on quality of life and pain. For this reason, individuals who can perform activities of daily living normally can get full points. There is a need for PROMs used in the assessment of higher functional skills. This study aimed to translate The High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) into Turkish and to conduct a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version.
Description
Studies show that TKA practice has increased in the young population in recent years. Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used in total knee arthroplasty focus more on quality of life and pain. For this reason, individuals who can perform activities of daily living normally can get full points. There is a need for PROMs used in the assessment of higher functional skills. This study aimed to translate The High-Activity Arthroplasty Score into Turkish and to conduct a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version. The adaptation of the questionnaire to Turkish in the study will be made according to the COSMIN and Reliability and Agreement Studies Reporting Guide. The construct validity, concurrent validity, reliability, and floor and ceiling effects of the questionnaire will be evaluated.
