Abstract:
Introduction: There is an overwhelming need for
worldwide applicable subjective grading systems for
patients' anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. The scoring
system should be validated for their use in advance related
measurements. For the Indonesian language speaking
population, only the Kujala Patellofemoral Score (KPS)
questionnaire has been translated and validated into the
Indonesian language for diseases related to knee pain, but
none for ACL tears. The present study aims at cross-cultural
adaption to measure the validity and reliability of the Kujala
patellofemoral score Indonesian version (KPS-I) specifically
for ACL tear patients.
Material and methods: The responses of 106 ACL tear
patients on two questionnaires comprising the KPS-I and
Short Form (SF)–36 were examined by determining the
validity and reliability. We conducted the validity construct
and content, so the reliability was evaluated by test-retest
reliability, internal consistency and measurement error. In
addition, the research utilised the Bland and Altman method
to explore absolute agreement.
Results: The construct and content validity were good,
where all hypotheses were confirmed, and the floor or
ceiling effect did not occur. The reliability proved excellent
between test and retest (ICC=0.99). An internal consistency
showed a good Cronbach α of 0.86. The standard error of
measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change at the
individual (MDCind), and minimal detectable change at the
group (MDCgrp) were determined to be 2.1, 5.8, and 0.7,
respectively. The application of the Bland and Altman plot
method revealed no bias in this study.
Conclusion: The validation procedure shows that the KPS-I
is a good evaluation instrument for Indonesian patients with
ACL tear. However, it is suggested that this score be used for
follow-up of patients after ACL reconstruction procedure,
especially with anterior knee pain related to the original
objective of the Kujala score.
