Brief Summary

Wheelchair users frequently experience shoulder pain. It has been determined that in our country, the subjective assessment methods that will help to determine and monitor shoulder pain severity of wheelchair users are limited. The purpose of this study is to adapt the original English version of the Wheelchair Users Shoulder Pain Index into Turkish and to assess its validity and reliability. Firstly, the original English version of WUSPI was translated into Turkish and culturally adapted, then applied to 100 wheelchair users to investigate the validity of the scale. The reliability of the scale was assessed by internal consistency and test-retest analysis and found a high internal consistency. Validation of WUSPI-Tr was assessed by the concurrent validity method. To establish concurrent validity, WUSPI scores were compared to SPADI and ASES scores by Spearman correlation analysis. There was a positively excellent correlation with SPADI and, negatively excellent correlation with ASES. As a result, it is determined tath the Turkish version of WUSPI-Tr is a valid and reliable tool.
