摘要

AIM To translate the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles(VISA-A)questionnaire into the Dutch language(VISA-A-NL),and to assess its reliability,validity,and applicability to non-athletes.METHODS After translation according to a forward-backward protocol,101 patients with complaints of Achilles tendinopathy were asked to fill out the VISA-A-NL at two time points together with visual analogue scale,the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score,and the Short Form-36 questionnaires.Reliability,internal consistency,construct validity,and content validity were tested.RESULTS The VISA-A-NL showed high reliability(0.97,95%CI:0.95-0.98).Cronbach’s alpha(internal consistency)was 0.80.It increased to 0.88 without activity domain.Correlation with other questionnaires was moderate or poorer.CONCLUSION The VISA-A-NL proved to be an excellent evaluation instrument for the Dutch physician.If applied to nonathletes,using a modified score(questions 1-6)should be considered.
