Description
Summary:The multidisciplinary team in our hand center, located in a university hospital in Montreal, has developed an expertise in treating all types of hand and wrist conditions, making it the most important French-speaking hand center in North America. Methods Translation of the questionnaires was carried according to published guidelines, in 6 steps: (1) forward translation from English to Canadian French by two independent translators; (2) production of consensus versions through an expert committee; (3) backward translation of the consensus versions by two new translators; (4) discrepancies resolution and production of pre-final versions; (5) field-testing of the pre-final versions on patients from the target population; (6) production of the final versions (MHQ-CF and bMHQ-CF) based on qualitative feedback from participants. Test-retest reliability will thus be assessed by comparing both MHQ-CF and bMHQ-CF from T1 and T2, via an intraclass correlation coefficient for total scores, as well as Cohen’s kappa coefficient for individual items.
