“…Small to medium correlations (ranging from r= 0.13 to r =0.47) were found between all sub-scales of the SF-36 MHC and the Thai (Q1),26 Chinese (Q1)28 and Persian (Q2)35 versions of the Kujala Patellofemoral Scale. The SF-36 sub-scales of ‘social function’ and ‘mental health’ both demonstrated small correlations with the Functional Index questionnaire, r=0.23 and r=0.15, respectively (Q3) 34.…”

background Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is prevalent in adolescence and adulthood and often persists. In contrast to other persistent musculoskeletal conditions, for which non-physical, psychological features are implicated, PFP remains largely conceptualised in mechanical terms. Aims To (1) identify whether the psychological characteristics of individuals with PFP differs from asymptomatic controls and (2) evaluate the correlations between psychological characteristics and PFP severity. study design Systematic review Methods A systematic review of the literature was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. The Epidemiological Appraisal Instrument was used to evaluate quality. Studies measuring psychological constructs with patient-reported measures were included. Standardised mean differences were calculated and supported by narrative synthesis. results Twenty-five studies were eligible. Quality results ranged from 28.3% to 61.7%. Psychological constructs were reported under four groupings: mental health, cognitive factors, behavioural factors and other factors. There is limited evidence of mental health and cognitive differences in some individuals with PFP. Features demonstrating linear correlations with pain and physical function included anxiety/depression, catastrophising, praying and hoping and pain-related fear. conclusions Anxiety, depression, catastrophising and fear of movement may be elevated in individuals with PFP and correlate with pain and reduced physical function. These results derive from a limited number of studies. Future research should aim to evaluate if and how psychological factors contribute to PFP. clinical relevance Patients are likely to benefit from clinician vigilance to the presence of psychological factors.

“…This is documented by the fact that data pooling during meta-analysis in the field of patellofemoral disorders is typically done with the Kujala score [ 48 ]. The importance of the Kujala score is shown by the fact that it was previously translated to Spanish, Chinese, Dutch, Greek, Thai, Turkish, Persian and Brazilian Portuguese [ 27 – 32 , 49 , 50 ]. Regarding internal consistency, all those publications reported Cronbach’s alpha values of around or above 0.8 (except for the Thai version of the Kujala score, whose internal consistency was not reported).…”

“…All the above-mentioned papers investigated the test–retest reliability and reported good to excellent results. However, some of the previous researchers applied very short test–retest intervals (30 min, 1–2 days) [ 30 , 32 ]. Except for the Dutch, Turkish and Thai Kujala versions, the above-mentioned studies also examined the construct validity of the respective Kujala score versions in comparison to that of other typical questionnaires (VISA-P, WOMAC, SF-36).…”

“…To date, the Kujala score has been validated in a number of languages [ 27 – 32 ], but not in German. The Kujala score was certainly used in German-speaking patients [ 21 , 26 , 33 – 35 ], but an official German version that was translated and linguistically validated in line with the recommendations of pertinent guidelines [ 36 ] as well psychometrically validated is still lacking.…”

IntroductionThe Kujala score is the most frequently used questionnaire for patellofemoral disorders like pain, instability or osteoarthritis. Unfortunately, we are not aware of a validated German version of the Kujala score. The aim of our study was the translation and linguistic validation of the Kujala score in German-speaking patients with patella instability and the assessment of its measurement characteristics.Materials and methodsThe German Kujala score was developed in several steps of translation. In addition to healthy controls, the Kujala German was assessed in consecutive patients undergoing reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament for recurrent patellar dislocations. Pre-op, 6 and 12 months postop the patients completed the Kujala German score, the KOOS, the Lysholm score, a VAS Pain, and the SF-12v2 scores. In addition, there was a Kujala German Score retest preop after a 1-week interval.ResultsWe found high reliability in terms of internal consistency for the Kujala score (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.87). Convergent validity with the KOOS (symptom r = 0.65, pain r = 0.78, ADL r = 0.74, sports/recreation r = 0.84, quality of life r = 0.70), the Lysholm score (r = 0.88) and the SF-12 physical component summary score (r = 0.79) and VAS pain (r = − 0.71) was also very high. Discriminant validity in terms of correlation with the SF-12 mental component summary Score was satisfactory (r = 0.14).ConclusionsIn conclusion, the German version of the Kujala score proved to be a reliable and valid instrument in the setting of a typical patellofemoral disease treated with a standard patellofemoral procedure.

Background: The Kujala score is a useful diagnostic tool to evaluate patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). However, no validated Indonesian version of the Kujala score has been available. Purpose: To develop and validate an Indonesian version of the Kujala score. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study to develop an Indonesian version of the Kujala score by using a forward-backward translation protocol. The resulting questionnaire was given to 51 patients diagnosed with PFPS. The validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by correlating the final score with the Indonesian version of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Reliability was measured by evaluating the internal consistency (Cronbach alpha) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]). Results: The Indonesian version of the Kujala score had a positive correlation with the physical components of the SF-36. The internal consistency was fairly high (α = .74), and the test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC, 0.996). Conclusion: The Indonesian version of the Kujala score was proven to be a valid and reliable tool to diagnose PFPS. Future epidemiological studies could implement this score to find the prevalence of PFPS in Indonesia. Further, ensuing studies could explore the application of this scoring system in posttreatment and postoperative settings.
