1 CROSS CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND PSYCHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF KNEE INJURY AND OSTEOARTHRITIS OUTCOME SCORE (KOOS) IN INDIAN POPULATION WITH KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS Richa Goswami 1, Unaise A. 2, Shobhit Saxena 3, Guresh Kumar 4 Background The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score(KOOS) is a knee specific selfadministered questionnaire which was developed in Sweden in It assesses patient s opinion about his/her knee joint and related problems. The KOOS has been previously adapted worldwide in different languages and has been tested in various orthopaedic problems of knee joint. Methods The process was divided into two steps. First step was to cross-culturally adapt the English version of KOOS in Hindi language following the standard procedures and the second step was to test the clinimetric properties. The Indian osteoarthritis population was studied. All subjects were made to fill the KOOS twice at 48 hours interval along with a Visual Analogue Scale for pain. The clinimetric properties evaluated were Cronbach s alpha (internal consistency), Intra Class Correlation (reliability), Spearman s correlation coefficient (construct validity) and floor and ceiling effect. Results One hundred five subjects (mean age = 60.49±10.51) were studied. Cronbach s alpha value was greater than 0.70 ranging between The ICC values calculated ranged between indicating Hindi KOOS to be a reliable version. The validity of the version was also acceptable. Floor effect was present in sports and recreation subscale. Conclusion The Hindi version of KOOS has been found to be a valid and a reliable instrument that can be used by Hindi speaking Indian population for assessment of knee specific quality of life in osteoarthritis patients. 1 -Research Scholar 2 Guide 3 Co-Guide 4 - Scientist Contact information: Richa Goswami 320 Badarpur New Delhi India Ph.No
