Orebro Musculoskeletal Screening Questionnaire-12

Evaluation of Turkish Validity, Reliability and Practicality of Örebro Musculoskeletal System Screening Questionnaire-12

The research is a study with methodological design. The validity, reliability and practicality of the Örebro Musculoskeletal System Screening Questionnaire-12 will be investigated. In this context, a questionnaire will be applied to the participants to take part in the study after the translation process is completed.

Musculoskeletal disorders are quite common in developed and developing countries. Musculoskeletal disorders cause economic burdens in the individual and social field. In addition, getting reports is one of the main causes of reduced productivity and work disability. Therefore, inexpensive and easily applicable screening questionnaires are needed to determine the patient population with high risk musculoskeletal disorders. The Örebro Musculoskeletal Screening Questionnaire is a practical questionnaire that can evaluate musculoskeletal disorders and is tailored to the WHO-ICF themes. For this reason, the aim of the study is to translate the Örebro Musculoskeletal System Survey-12 into Turkish intercultural translation and to investigate the construct validity, reliability and practicality.
