Abstract
Introduction Shoulder self-assessment scores are widely used in clinical practice to evaluate the condition of the patient and assess the results of treatment. Most of them were composed in English. To be able to reliably apply the selected surveys in other than the originally assigned to the questionnaire, linguistic and cultural circles, it is necessary to perform cultural adaptation. Until now none of the shoulder questionnaires has been adapted to Polish culture. Aim The aim of the study is to translate and culturally adapt to the Polish culture Shoulder Score Index – American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, Constant Score, Simple Shoulder Test and University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Rating Scale. Materials and methods The process of adaptation to Polish culture was performed according to the international guidelines. It consisted of translation of the original questionnaire from English into Polish, then back-translation into English and eventually preliminary testing of created version on a group of 33 people. The final version of each of the surveys has been approved by the committee supervising the process of cultural adaptation. Results The process of translation and adaptation of all questionnaires underwent without significant problems. During the initial testing of the Constant Score there were ambiguities regarding the description of the pain scale, which for this reason has been modified and approved by a commission. Testing of other forms proceeded without complications. Conclusions Conducted cultural adaptation to the Polish culture of selected shoulder assessment forms applied to the painful shoulder has been completed successfully. Currently lasts the second part of the project, which consists of the validation of described questionnaires in the clinical settings.
