Validation of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Orthopedics

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of questionnaires designed to measure outcomes in the medical practice. To use a questionnaire in a population different from the one for which it was originally created and designed, it is necessary to carry out a rigorous adaptation process, with a certain methodology. The objective of the present methodological guide is to describe the process of translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of patient-reported outcome measures in Orthopedics and Traumatology.

Level of evidence: IV.

Keywords
