Modern and Ballet (Bronner, S. and I. R. Urbano (2018); n = 80; mean age = 25.69 +/- 5.49; dance training years = 14.71 +/- 6.22; Time between assessments: 4-9 days)
- High: DFOS LS v. LS (r = .99), VAS v. VAS (r = 0.94) - 16-item
- Removal of the two back-related items (making it a 14 item questionnaire) improved technique and total score correlations and internal consistency.
- LS v. VAS (r=0.74)
(Bronner, S., E. Chodock, I. E. R. Urbano and T. Smith (2019; n =198; 130 female, 68 male; mean ± SD age, 24.56 ± 6.22 years; range, 18–51 years; time between assessments: 4-9 days)
- Combined healthy and injured group
- Very high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.99)
- High healthy-group test-retest reliability of DFOS total score (ICC = 0.95), ADL (ICC = 0.89), and technique subscores (ICC = 0.92)
- Moderate test-retest reliability specifically for rond de jambe item (ICC = 0.67)
- SEM ranged from 0.58 to 0.86 (healthy group)
- High injured-group reliability for all DFOS scores and items
