Turkish Adaptation, Validity and Reliability Study of the Athlete Disability Index Questionnaire

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.

Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI) is a Likert-type scale that questions pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sexual life, social life and traveling in 10 items. Each item is scored between 0-5 (0: normal, 5: maximum difficulty) and the total score is 50.

In it's calculation; (Final score = [total score] / [(number of marked questions) x5] x 100) formula is used to convert it to a percentage system. A high percentage indicates that the level of disability perceived by the patient is also high. Turkish validity and reliability study has been conducted.

Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ): This scale, which was developed by selecting 24 of the 136 items of the Disease Impact Profile, evaluates activity level, daily living activities, eating and sleeping. Yes is scored as 1, no is scored as 0, and a higher total score indicates worse functionality. A Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Küçükdeveci et al.
