- Abstract
Background: The Hospital for Special Surgery Pediatric Functional Activity Brief Scale (HSS Pedi-FABS) is a specifically designed scoring system for children and has been translated into several languages. However, to date, no validated Japanese version of this scoring system is available. Purpose: To translate the HSS Pedi-FABS into Japanese and assess its reliability and validity. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: The HSS Pedi-FABS was translated into Japanese and back-translated into English to confirm the appropriateness of the translation. A total of 764 children aged 9 to 15 years participated in the validation study. The participants answered the Japanese version of the HSS Pedi-FABS along with 2 other questionnaires in Japanese (the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children [PAQ-C] and the physical activity questionnaire of the World Health Organization's Health Behavior in School-aged Children [HBSC PAQ]). At 1 month after the first assessment, the children answered the Japanese version of the HSS Pedi-FABS again. We evaluated reliability using the Cronbach alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient. Validity was evaluated by quantifying floor and ceiling effects, correlations between the HSS Pedi-FABS and the PAQ-C, the HSS Pedi-FABS discrepancy between active and inactive groups divided by the HBSC PAQ, and correlation between the HSS Pedi-FABS and body mass index. Results: HSS Pedi-FABS scores were slightly but significantly higher in male participants (mean = 16.7) than in female participants (mean = 13.2). The Cronbach alpha coefficient was.90, and the intraclass correlation coefficient value was 0.90, indicating excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability, respectively. No floor (2.6%) or ceiling effect (1.0%) was observed. The HSS Pedi-FABS was significantly correlated with the PAQ-C (r = 0.70). The active group demonstrated a significantly higher score on the HSS Pedi-FABS (mean = 18.9) than did the inactive group (mean = 11.2). In terms of discriminative validity, the HSS Pedi-FABS was not correlated with body mass index (r = –0.15). Conclusion: The Japanese version of the HSS Pedi-FABS demonstrated appropriate reliability and validity, indicating that it is a useful tool to assess physical activity levels in Japanese children.
