Scoliosis is an abnormality which causes anterior trunk asymmetry. The Truncal Anterior Asymmetry Scoliosis Questionnaire-adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) (TAASQ) measures the feeling about anterior trunk appearance in girls with AIS. It comprises 14 questions which evaluate frontal asymmetry of breasts, shoulders, and waist as well as behavioral attitude. There is currently no validated questionnaire in French to evaluate truncal asymmetry in AIS girls. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the French version of the TAASQ (TAASQ-VF).
The study reports the translation and transcultural adaptation of the TAASQ into French. The translation was tested on 20 patients to verify comprehension and modify if necessary. To assess the reliability of the translated version, each domain as well as the total measure were tested for internal consistency. Convergent validity was evaluated on 63 patients and test-retest on a sample of 15.
The translation and content validation process resulted in a French version of the TAASQ. Internal consistency was over 0.80 for each item, over 0.70 for each domain, and 0.88 for the total scores. SAQ were used to perform convergent validity with TAASQ-VF. The TAASQ-FV correlated well with many of the SAQ domains (p < 0.05) and every TAASQ-FV domain correlated with at least one SAQ domain (p < 0.05). Test-retest reliability for the total score and for each domain was good.
The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the TAASQ questionnaire provides a French version that can measure the feeling about frontal appearance in girls with idiopathic scoliosis.
脊柱侧弯是一种导致躯干前部不对称的异常情况。躯干前部不对称脊柱侧弯问卷——青少年特发性脊柱侧弯（AIS）版（TAASQ）用于测量患有AIS的女孩对躯干前部外观的感受。它包含14个问题，评估乳房、肩膀和腰部的额状面不对称以及行为态度。目前尚无经过验证的法语问卷来评估AIS女孩的躯干不对称情况。本研究的目的是翻译并验证TAASQ的法语版本（TAASQ-VF）。
本研究报告了TAASQ翻译成法语并进行跨文化调适的过程。该翻译在20名患者身上进行测试，以验证理解情况并在必要时进行修改。为评估翻译版本的信度，对每个领域以及总分进行内部一致性测试。在63名患者身上评估收敛效度，并在15名样本患者身上进行重测。
翻译和内容验证过程产生了TAASQ的法语版本。每个项目的内部一致性超过0.80，每个领域超过0.70，总分的内部一致性为0.88。使用脊柱侧弯评估问卷（SAQ）与TAASQ-VF进行收敛效度分析。TAASQ-FV与许多SAQ领域相关性良好（p < 0.05），并且每个TAASQ-FV领域与至少一个SAQ领域相关（p < 0.05）。总分和每个领域的重测信度良好。
TAASQ问卷的翻译和跨文化调适提供了一个法语版本，可用于测量特发性脊柱侧弯女孩对额状面外观的感受。
