Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Persian Version of the Harris Hip Score

“…The 10 items of Persian HHS are moderately interdependent and homogenous in terms of the constructs they measure. The Cronbach's alpha values for other languages range from 0.528 for Arabic to 0.94 for Slovenian and are consistent with our findings [ 13 , 17 ]. When Cronbach's alpha is calculated if an item is deleted, the Limping score is found to be the most significant item.…”

The results are similar to those reported for Italian [ 10 ], Turkish [ 11 ], Arabic [ 12 , 13 ], Portuguese [ 14 ], Spanish [ 15 ], Greek [ 16 ], and Slovenian [ 17 ] adaptation studies [ Table 5 ].…”

“…A translation and validation of the HHS have been performed in Italian [ 10 ], Turkish [ 11 ], Arabic [ 12 , 13 ], Portuguese [ 14 ], Spanish [ 15 ], Greek [ 16 ], and Slovenian [ 17 ] languages. The Persian language, also known as Farsi, is a pluricentric language spoken primarily in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan.…”
