Abstract

The Topicality of the Research Topic. Shoulder and elbow injuries are quite common among overhead athletes. We reckon that for the effective prevention of sports injuries of the shoulder, it is necessary to understand the functional state of the shoulder joint, for which it is necessary to have the appropriate diagnostic tools. The Purpose of the Article: to carry out a cross-cultural adaptation of the English-language the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow Score (KJOC-SES) to the Ukrainian language and to check its reliability. Research Material and Methods. One hundred overhead athletes took part in the survey: handball (24 % of the total number of respondents), basketball (17 %), badminton (28 %), volleyball (beach volleyball) (20 %), and other

game sports (11 %). Age, sports qualification, and informed consent to participate in the study were also selected as inclusion criteria. The translation of the English version of the KJOC-SES was carried out according to the main stages recommended by Beaton et al. Validation of the KJOC-SES was carried out by the method of main components (factor analysis) and reliability – repeated survey (after a week). One hundred athletes of game sports took part in the survey. The internal consistency of the questions of the KJOC-SES was determined by Cronbach’s α values. Statistical analysis was performed using the STATISTICA 6,0 package. Research Results. As a result of the factor analysis, two main factors were determined, which accounted for 58,51 % of the total variance. The two-factor structure corresponded to the structure of the questionnaire (two parts) and the distribution of questions. All main body questions had factor loadings between 0,680 and 0,971, indicating high validity. No statistical difference was found between the answers of the first and repeated testing. Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0,98 and 0,96 in two tests, respectively, indicating excellent internal consistency of the questions. Conclusions. The analysis of the research results allows us to state that the Ukrainian version of the KJOC-SES is equivalent to the original, has high validity, is reliable, and can serve as a diagnostic tool for monitoring the process of physical rehabilitation of sports athletes with shoulder joint injuries and during screening for the development of measures to prevent sports shoulder injuries. The Ukrainian-language version of the KJOC-SES will also allow comparing similar results of foreign studies with domestic ones.
