Primary outcome
1. Test-retest reliability;
2. Internal reliability.
Secondary outcome
The smallest detectable change (SDC)
Background summary
Valid and reliable questionnaires are essential to evaluate the effectiveness of our interventions. To evaluate patellofemoral symptoms, Dutch physiotherapists often used the VAS for pain and the patient specific complaints (PSK) for daily activities. These measures aren’t specific to evaluate patellofemoral symptoms. For the Dutch population with patellofemoral pain syndrome, the Kujala patellofemoral score has not yet been validated. The aim of this study is to translate the original questionnaire into Dutch and test its test-retest reliability in patients with PFPS in the Netherlands.
Study objective
The kujala patellofemorla painscore has a good test-retest reliability and also the internal consistency is good.
Study design
The questionnaire takes place during the first intake or during the (current) treatment. The patient must complete the questionnaire independently. To estimate test-retest reliability, the same questionnaire is re-administered to the same subjects after an one-week interval.
Intervention
The Kujala patellofemoral score comprises 13 questions. These questions inquire whether there is pain during walking up and down stairs, squatting, running, jumping, weight bearing, and prolonged sitting with the knee in flexion; whether there is limping, swelling, and subluxation of the patella; atrophy in quadriceps muscle, flexion deficiency and pain. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, a higher score indicating less complaints.
Inclusion criteria
1. Age between 14 and 60 years;
2. Sufficient knowledge of the Dutch language;
3. The presence of at least three of the following symptoms:
A. Pain when walking up and down the stairs;
B. Pain when squatting;
C. Pain when running;
D. Pain when cycling;
E. Pain when sitting with knees flexed for a prolonged period of time;
F. Grinding of the patella and a positive clinical patella test (such as Clarke’s test or patellar femoral grinding test).
Exclusion criteria
Subjects are excluded if they have patellar tendinopathy, Osgood-Schlatter disease, or other defined pathological conditions of the knee, or had previous knee injuries or surgery.
