Purpose: The aim of this current study was to investigate adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Profile-Fitness Mapping Questionnaire (PFMQ) for people with low back pain. Methods: Two hundred and forty participants who had chronic low back pain enrolled to the study. Intra-rater and internal consistency analysis were used for the reliability assessment of the questionnaire. Intra-rater reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for internal consistency. For concurrent validity, PFMQ scores were compared with ODI and VAS using Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis. The PFMQ, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Short Form Health Survey instrument (SF-36) were administered to all participants. Results: For intra-rater reliability, intraclass correlation coefficient scores were varying between 0.643 and 0.767, indicating that intra-rater results were very good. Pearson correlation coefficient of the PFMQ with ODI was calculated 0.594 and it was found with VAS was 0.502 for concurrent validity. For the reliability analysis, the Cronbach alpha value of the PFMQ were recorded as 0.837. The correlations with the SF-36 indices were changed between fair and good (0.28–0.52). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the PFMQ is valid and reliable. This scale can reveal how, how often, and how much can pain affect the symptoms and functional activities of people with chronic low back pain. |
