Cross-cultural adaptation reliability and validity of the Vertigo symptom scale–short form in the central Kurdish dialect

摘要

BackgroundCore vestibular symptoms are vague, hard for patients to describe, and difficult for examiners to quantify. Reliable and validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have obtained acceptance and popularity in the specialty of vestibular disorders. In Kurdish, there is a critical shortage of such measures. The aim of this survey was to assess the psychometric properties of a central Kurdish version (VSS − SF − CK) of the Vertigo Symptom Scale−Short Form (VSS − SF).
