About

The purpose of this study is to translate and culturally adapt the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) into Turkish, and to determine the measurement properties of the Turkish version.

Full description

Patellofemoral pain and patellofemoral osteoarthritis are highly prevalent knee disorders associated with pain and functional limitations. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are suggested for clinical and research use; however, there is a lack of objective disease-specific PROMs for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study is to translate and culturally adapt the subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis (KOOS-PF) into Turkish, and to determine the measurement properties of the Turkish version.
