Abstract
Objectives
To conduct the cross-cultural adaptation for translating the original version of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)(English version)
Summary of Literature Review
Society is multicultural populations income. (This makes no sense?) Since languages and cultures are highly related, any cross-cultural assessment must be addressed in the outcome of the measurements. (I have made this into a proper sentence, but the meaning is still unclear, please confirm?) The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) has not been translated into Korean, but is the most widely used tool in the world for measuring the intensity of back pain.
Material and Method
We used the guideline for the translation and cultural adaptation process, (Where were these guidelines from?) including forward translation, synthesis of translation, backward translation, committee review, pre- testing, test of the pro- final version, and finally, submission of the documentation to the developers. The Korean version of the Oswestry Disability Index (KODI) was tested on 116 patients with chronic low back pain.
