“…This adaptation showed good psychometric properties in Spanish athletes, and that the scores of the groups were very similar to those obtained from subjects using other versions 12,28,29,37,39 of the same scale supports our findings.…”

“…As the authors suggested in the original publication, the VISA-P should not be considered a diagnostic tool, because there were no significant differences between the scores of athletes with tendinopathy and those of patients with other knee injuries. 12,28,29,39 In the study of VISA-P-Sp correlation with SF-36 components, participants with higher levels of symptoms had, as expected, a poorer quality of life related to health. This finding helps to confirm the external validity of the questionnaire and its adaptation.…”

“…8 In 1998, the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment (Australia) developed a brief self-administered questionnaire called the VISA-P, to assess the severity of symptoms in athletes with patellar tendinopathy. 37 Currently, it is the only specific scale for patellar tendinopathy and has been adapted for Swedish, 12 Italian, 29 Dutch, 39 and German 28 populations. The psychometric properties of these versions are summarized in TABLE 1.…”

“…27 These results are similar to those of other versions. 12,28,39 To assess test-retest reliability, we used a large sample and a time interval of 7 to 10 days between applications. This time interval was sufficient for participants to forget their initial responses and for symptoms not to vary substantially.…”

P atellar tendinopathy is a common overuse injury in sports, particularly in athletes who participate in sports such as basketball, athletics, and volleyball, with a prevalence in male indoor volleyball players of approximately 50%. 26 In severe cases it may limit or even prevent participation in sports.22 Patellar tendinopathy is a noninflammatory condition. Histologically, patellar tendon biopsies from affected tissue reveal collagen degeneration and fibrotic scarring of the tendon. 19 These tendon T T STUDY DESIGN: Clinical measurement. T T OBJECTIVES:To adapt the VISA-P questionnaire into Spanish and to assess its psychometric properties. T T BACKGROUND:Health status questionnaires and scales to report outcomes are increasingly used in medical research and clinical practice. Validated versions of these tools are necessary to avoid bias during use in different languages and cultures. T T METHODS:We followed international recommendations to perform cross-cultural adaptation. The Spanish VISA-P (VISA-P-Sp) questionnaire and the Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36) were administered to 150 individuals: 40 healthy students, 40 professional players in sports requiring jumping, 40 athletes with patellar tendinopathy, and 30 athletes with knee injuries other than patellar tendinopathy. Participants were assessed at baseline and after 1 week. Athletes with tendinopathy also completed questionnaires and other knee measures (the Kujala Scoring Questionnaire and the Cincinnati Knee Rating Scale) after physiotherapy treatment, which consisted of rest, ice, eccentric exercise, electrotherapy, and manual therapy. T T RESULTS:The VISA-P-Sp showed high reliability for both temporal stability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.994; 95% CI: 0.992, 0.996) and internal consistency (Cronbach α = 0.885).Based on a factor analysis, a 2-factor solution explained 76.1% of the variance. The VISA-P-Sp score in the tendinopathy group was significantly correlated with scores on other knee scales (Kujala score [Spearman rho = 0.897; P<.001] and Cincinnati scale [Spearman rho = 0.782, P<.001]) and with SF-36 physical components score (Spearman rho>0.6, P<.001). The standardized size effect was 1.14, and the standardized response mean was 1.17. T T CONCLUSION:The VISA-P-Sp questionnaire proved to be a valid and reliable instrument, sensitive to clinical changes and comparable to the original English-language version. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2011;41(8):581-591, Epub 12 July 2011. doi:10.2519/jospt.2011 Since its publication in 1998, the instrument has been increasingly used to assess changes in the severity of symptoms in athletes with patellar tendinopathy after therapeutic intervention. 7,9,15,18,21,38,40 Important advances in the understanding of tendon pathology and clinical trials conducted by several research groups have made the VISA-P a widely accepted and valuable tool of reference for the assessment of patellar tendinopathy. 22Data obtained with appropriate outcome measures allow an assessment of the clinical evolut...

“…4,6,26,32 Before a questionnaire can be used to assess individuals from other countries who speak a different language, it must be translated into that language and culturally adapted to the country in which it is to be used. 14,18 For example, questions related to activities of daily living or sports that are uncommon in the target country may require adaptations beyond simple translation. In addition, before it can be used in either a clinical or research context, the psychometric properties of the translated version of the questionnaire must be established.…”

Cross-cultural Adaptation and Validation of the VISA-P Questionnaire for German-Speaking Patients With Patellar Tendinopathy

Abstract: valid questionnaire for the self-assessment of pain, symptoms, and function in German-speaking patients with patellar tendinopathy. Its psychometric properties are comparable with the original English and international adaptations (Swedish, Dutch, and Italian).
