Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of S-ROM-Neck
Patient-reported joint motion assessment tools have been developed and applied successfully
 in several joints of the body. "The Self Administered Neck Mobility Assessment Tool
 (S-ROM-Neck)" questionnaire was developed by Langenfeld et al in 2018. With this
 questionnaire, the clinicians are able to evaluate the neck joint motion perception of the
 patients, subjectively. There is no Turkish version of the questionnaire. The aim of our
 study is to develop the Turkish version of the S-ROM-Neck questionnaire, to analyze its
 cultural adaptation, and to reveal its validity and reliability.
Neck pain leads to a decreased range of motion in the cervical spine, bringing along
 functional losses. As a result, this situation is associated with many disabilities.
 Evaluation of neck joint motion is essential in patients with chronic neck pain. It is used
 to evaluate the neck pain level and functional deficit level of the patient. In this way, it
 is possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment applied to the patient during the
 rehabilitation process. Generally, this evaluation can be made and interpreted by an
 experienced clinician. However, patient perception provides a better understanding of
 patients' needs and problems by converting clinical data into a patient-centered measure.
 Moreover, the patient's perspective can add valuable information to the examination by
 creating a holistic picture of the patient's problems, possible needs, and expectations. In
 2018, the "Self Administered Neck Mobility Assessment Tool (S-ROM-Neck)" survey was developed
 by Langenfeld et al. With this questionnaire, developers purposed to evaluate the neck joint
 motion perception of the patients, subjectively. There is no Turkish version of the
 questionnaire. The aim of our study is to develop the Turkish version of the S-ROM-Neck
 questionnaire, to analyze its cultural adaptation, and to reveal its validity and
 reliability.
