    Abstract

    Study Design

    Cross-cultural adaptation of the Korean version of the Oswestry Disability Index (KODI).

    Objectives

    To conduct the cross-cultural adaptation for translating the original version of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) (English version).

    Summary of Literature Review

    Society is multicultural populations income. (This makes no sense?) Since languages and cultures are highly related, any cross-cultural assessment must be addressed in the outcome of the measurements. (I have made this into a proper sentence, but the meaning is still unclear, please confirm?) The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) has not been translated into Korean, but is the most widely used tool in the world for measuring the intensity of back pain.

    Material and Method

    We used the guideline for the translation and cultural adaptation process, (Where were these guidelines from?) including forward translation, synthesis of translation, backward translation, committee review, pre-testing, test of the pro-final version, and finally, submission of the documentation to the developers. The Korean version of the Oswestry Disability Index (KODI) was tested on 116 patients with chronic low back pain.

    Results

    The reliability for the KODI, as measured by the Cronbach's alpha value, was 0.9168, and the reliability of the test-retest was 0.9331. The process results were reported to the developer (Dr. Jeremy Fairbank), who appraised the KODI.

    Conclusions

    The KODI was found to have satisfactory reliability. Therefore, the KODI can be recommended as a tool for the measurement of lower back pain in Korea.
