Overview

Randomized trial evaluates reliability and validity of a knee-specific measure, indicating its broad applicability.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the reliability and validity of the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form.
  • Administered the form to 533 patients with various knee problems
  • Used Short Form-36 for concurrent validity measure
  • Performed factor analysis and assessed differential item function
  • Internal consistency was 0.92 and test-retest reliability was 0.95.
  • True change in score value was determined to be 9.0 points.
  • Score was correlated with physical function measures (r = 0.47 to 0.66), but not with emotional function metrics (r = 0.16 to 0.26).
