Given the high prevalence of ULD in this population and the wider versions of ULFI across different languages, this studys results may be transferred to clinical practice and integrated as part of upper limb assessment after breast cancer. Psychometric properties were evaluated following Costello and Osborne [, Although previous PROs have been validated in BCS [, In the present study, the KMO showed that the ULFI was suitable for an EFA analysis.

The Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) is a patient reported outcome measure used to assess the functional impairment in individuals with musculoskeletal upper limb dysfunction. In light of the present results, the developed version of the ULFI-SP is preferable to assess the upper limb function in Spanish women after breast cancer surgery. This cross-sectional study recruited a population of female BCS to evaluate the psychometric properties of ULFI in terms of structural validity, reliability, and factor analysis.

The ULFI has also been accepted by the international PRO database [39] PROQUOLID. The LLFI was initially cross-culturally adapted to Spanish through double forward and single backward translation; then subsequently validated for the psychometric characteristics of validity, internal consistency, reliability, error score and factor structure. This comparative analysis in separate studies has provided scope to suggest the ULFI was preferred to the criterion tools of the DASH [6, 17, 38], UEFS [6] and QuickDASH [7, 26] due to a combination of enhanced psychometric and practical characteristics.

The ULFIs practical characteristics of brevity, ready transferability to a 100-point scale, ease and rapidity of completion and scoring reinforced the methodological consistency [7, 26, 38]. Finally, factor analysis by CFA was tested in the analyses. A one-factor solution is critical if a PRO is to be used with a single summated score and subsequently reflect the construct for which it is primary used that of representation of the functional status of the upper limb as a single kinetic chain [25, 48]. Consequently, the ULFI-Sp may be useful in Spanish-speaking populations and for making cross-ethnic and cross-cultural comparisons in other English speaking countries with a high Spanish-speaking population. doi: 10.23750/abm.v93i5.13417.
