Официальное название
Turkish Validity and Reliability of the Rapprich Lipedema Symptomatic Assessment Questionnaire
Обзор
Lipedema is a chronic disease characterized by abnormal fat accumulation, primarily in the lower extremities, affecting women. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Rapprich Lipedema Symptomatic Assessment Questionnaire, which was originally developed by Rapprich et al. in 2010. Since a validated Turkish version is currently unavailable, this research will provide a standardized tool for clinicians to assess symptomatic severity in Turkish-speaking lipedema patients.
Подробное описание
This cross-sectional study will involve 180 female participants diagnosed with lipedema (Stages I, II, and III). Participants will be recruited from the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinics of Marmara University and Sultan 2. Abdülhamid Han Training and Research Hospital.
Assessments will include:
* Demographic data (age, BMI). * Physical examinations (waist-hip ratio, limb circumference, and volume calculations). * Functional testing (6-minute walk test). * The Turkish version of the Rapprich Lipedema Symptomatic Assessment -Questionnaire (15 items scored 0-10). * The SF-36 Health Survey for criterion validity.
Statistical analysis will include Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability (14-day interval), and Exploratory/Confirmatory Factor Analysis for construct validity.
