“…The 8-item face validity scale was developed by the authors to measure the overall appearance of the INSPECT. The 8-item scale comprised of: (1) clarity of instructions to complete the tool, (2) organization of the tool in a head-to-toe sequence, (3) clarity and ease of tool scoring system, (4) clarity of items within each subset, (5) consistency in language style, (6) accuracy in the scoring of the tool subsets, (7) accuracy in overall scoring of the tool, and (8) good layout of the tool [ 21 , 32 , 33 ]. To calculate face validity, a score of ‘1’ was assigned to “Clear” and a score of ‘0’ was assigned to “Not Clear” for each of the ratings and the mean score was calculated for each item [ 34 ].…”

Content and Face Validation of a Novel, Interactive Nutrition Specific Physical Exam Competency Tool (INSPECT) to Evaluate Registered Dietitians’ Competence: A Delphi Consensus from the United States

The nutrition-focused physical examination (NFPE) is an integral component of nutrition assessment performed by registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) to determine signs of malnutrition and other nutrition-related complications. Increased use of this essential skill among RDNs and the transformation of dietetics education to a competency-based model in the near future calls for appropriately validated tools to measure RDNs’ NFPE competence. To fill the need for a validated competency tool, this study developed an Interactive Nutrition-Specific Physical Exam Competency Tool (INSPECT) utilizing the initial 70 items identified in the first phase of the study. The second phase of this study aimed to test the preliminary version of the INSPECT for content and face validity. An expert panel of 17 members provided consensus recommendations through the Delphi process. Internal consistency of the consensus was measured with Cronbach’s alpha (α) and α of ≥0.70 was defined as acceptable a priori. Inter-rater agreement among the expert panel was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and an a priori ICC of 0.75 to 0.9 was established as good and >0.9 as excellent agreement. The results showed acceptable face validity (α = 0.71) and excellent content validity for the INSPECT, with an internal consistency of α = 0.97 in the first round and α = 0.96 in the second round. The inter-rater agreement was also excellent with ICC = 0.95 for each of the Delphi rounds. A total of 52 items were retained from the preliminary version of the INSPECT. Open feedback from the experts allowed for the consolidation of 11 similar items for better scoring and evaluation and thus, a total of 41 items were included in the final version of the INSPECT. The final version of the INSPECT is currently being studied in real-life, multi-site clinical settings among practicing RDNs to examine construct validity, reliability, and item-level psychometric properties. Ultimately, the validated INSPECT will be available for the competency evaluation of RDNs practicing in clinical settings.

Palmar skin elasticity measured by the Cutometer MPA 580 is decreased in mild Dupuytren’s disease compared to healthy controls

Introduction Involvement of the palmar skin is often seen in patients with Dupuytren’s disease (DD) with severe finger contractures. However, skin elasticity may be already decreased earlier in the disease. The Cutometer MPA 580 could provide an objective skin measurement tool to assess this decrease in elasticity. Linking objective skin measurements to functional outcome measures could lead to better prediction of disease progression. We set up a study to investigate if the Cutometer was able to detect differences in skin elasticity between patients with mild Dupuytren’s disease and healthy controls. Methods A cross-sectional analytical study was performed. Three assessors measured skin elasticity (palmar hand) on two sites using the Cutometer on 30 patients with mild DD and 30 healthy controls. Student’s t-test was used to evaluate differences in skin elasticity and a linear model to evaluate interactions between the groups and sites. Results Significant differences in skin elasticity were found between DD patients and controls, as well as differences based on the location examined. Discussion Similar to other skin conditions, the Cutometer MPA 580 was able to demonstrate a significant lower elasticity in the palmar skin in DD patients compared to healthy controls. A decrease in skin elasticity in different locations of the hand correlated with areas that often pose problems in the treatment of more severe DD. The Cutometer could potentially be a tool to identify these areas earlier in the disease.

“…This first version of SEFIP-sport was then submitted for face and content validation in two phases. 18 First phase, two physical therapists and two physical education professionals working in the field of sports rehabilitation were consulted with regard to making technical judgments about alterations, inclusions or exclusions of items in the questionnaire and establishing whether the questionnaire was adequate for measuring musculoskeletal pain-related disability. The criteria for including these experts were the following: time availability, fluency in both languages, clinical and scientific expertise with sports rehabilitation and interest in collaborating in the study.…”

Brazilian version of the Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain questionnaire for musculoskeletal injuries relating to dance and sport: translation and cross-cultural adaptation

INTRODUCTION Cross-cultural adaptations of questionnaires in developing countries, such as Brazil, have fostered a major debate involving the fields of economics, health, politics and culture. 1 Today, with the development and dissemination of the Guidelines for the Process of Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Self-Report Measures 2 and of the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN), 3 standardization of cross-cultural adaptation relating to culture, language and country is providing positive outcomes within scientific and clinical contexts. Within healthcare sciences, especially in the field of prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, it is common to use questionnaires to measure self-reported outcomes, mainly in relation to pain and functional disability. 4-6 Among the questionnaires for screening of musculoskeletal injuries, in addition to instruments that were created by researchers for specific evaluations, 7,8 the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) stands out through its widespread use for locating musculoskeletal pain in diverse populations. 9-12 However, the NMQ does not have a severity score, and it is not possible to use it to make inferences about functional disability. Therefore, as a way to fill this gap, the Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP) questionnaire was developed and published in 1999. This is an instrument created based
