Validity of the Malay adaptation of the KOOS Patellofemoral Pain and Subscale (KOOS-PF)

Introduction: The Malay version of Knee Orthopaedic Outcome Score-Patellofemoral (KOOS-PF) is unavailable. Aims: This study culturally used the (KOOS-PF) questionnaire for Malaysian Malay-speaking students. Methods: Forward-backwards translation was used to translate the KOOS-PF questionnaire from English to Malay. Malay version psychometric patellofemoral characteristics (construct reliability) were examined using Cronbach's alpha to assess reliability and internal consistency with fifty-five UiTM physiotherapy students. Results: The reliability analysis found that each construct's Cronbach's alpha coefficient was more significant than 0.07, and the p-values were less than 0.001. Conclusion: A reliable and straightforward technique for assessing quality of life among Malaysian physiotherapy students.
