Overview
Brief Summary
This survey study aims to analyze the cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of a scale originally in English and currently being translated into Turkish, which allows athletes with low back pain to assess their functional disabilities in sports and exercise activities as well as their disabilities in daily living activities. Athletes with low back pain will be asked to fill out 3 questionnaires.
Detailed Description
In the study, firstly, the translation of the Athlete Disability Index Questionnaire (ADI) into the target language, comparison of the two translated versions of the scale, back translation of the preliminary version, synthesis, pilot test of the pre-final version and psychometric test studies will be carried out by 3 independent translators and 2 linguists in 6 stages. Then, 120 athletes with low back pain will be asked to fill out the ADI, Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI). 7 days later, the ADI will be filled out again by 60 athletes. After the surveys are completed, the structural validity of the scale will be tested, and reliability will be measured by performing test-retest reliability and internal consistency analyses.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Athlete Disability Index Questionnaire (ADI)
Time Frame: 7 days
The Athlete Disability Index Questionnaire (ADI) is a self-administered questionnaire to assess disability related to low back pain in athletes. The ADI measures athletes' functional disability in activities of daily living as well as their disability in sports and exercise activities. The ADI consists of 12 questions that include pain intensity, stretching exercises, strengthening/weight training exercises, sport-specific skills (technical skills), rotational waist movements/changing direction, fear of pain or re-injury, sitting, walking, recreational activities, sexual activity, sleep, and personal care (ability to put on socks and shoes, ability to go to the bathroom). Each question is scored from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating a more severe condition.
Secondary Outcomes
- Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI)(1 day)
- Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)(1 day)
