The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) is designed to evaluate pain and disability in subjects with lateral elbow tendinopathy. This questionnaire is available in Swedish, Italian, and some other languages. A Persian language version of the questionnaire is needed for both research and clinical purposes.
The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the PRTEE questionnaire into the Persian language and to determine its validity and reliability.
The PRTEE was translated and culturally adapted from English into Persian (PRTEE-P) according to the established guidelines. The PRTEE-P was completed by 68 Iranian subjects (44 women, 24 men) diagnosed with chronic lateral elbow tendinopathy. To assess test-retest reliability, all subjects filled out the PRTEE-P on a second admission within one week. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha were measured to report reliability. The validity was determined by correlating the PRTEE-P questionnaire with the Persian version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire.
The Persian version of the PRTEE showed a high internal consistency with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.99, demonstrating good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.99). It was well correlated with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (r = 0.80).
The PRTEE-P is a reliable and valid tool designed for measuring pain and disability in subjects with lateral elbow tendinopathy.
患者自评网球肘评估（PRTEE）旨在评估外侧肘部肌腱病患者的疼痛和残疾。该问卷有瑞典语、意大利语和其他一些语言版本。为了研究和临床目的，需要有波斯语版本的问卷。
本研究旨在将 PRTEE 问卷从英语翻译成波斯语（PRTEE-P），并确定其有效性和可靠性。
根据既定指南，将 PRTEE 从英语翻译成波斯语（PRTEE-P）。68 名被诊断为慢性外侧肘部肌腱病的伊朗受试者（44 名女性，24 名男性）完成了 PRTEE-P。为了评估重测信度，所有受试者在一周内的第二次就诊时填写 PRTEE-P。通过测量组内相关系数（ICC）和克朗巴赫α来报告可靠性。通过将 PRTEE-P 问卷与波斯语版的手臂、肩部和手部残疾问卷相关联来确定有效性。
PRTEE-P 具有很高的内部一致性，克朗巴赫α为 0.99，表明重测信度良好（ICC=0.99）。它与手臂、肩部和手部残疾问卷（r=0.80）有很好的相关性。
PRTEE-P 是一种可靠且有效的工具，用于测量外侧肘部肌腱病患者的疼痛和残疾。
