Background Developed in 2015, the Victorian Institute for Sport Assessment for Gluteal Tendinopathy (VISA‐G) is the first patient‐reported outcome measure tool specifically designed to measure the severity of disability associated with greater trochanteric pain syndrome. There is currently no French version of the VISA‐G questionnaire. Objective To translate the VISA‐G questionnaire into French (VISA‐GF) and to test its psychometric performances. Design Cross‐sectional study, validation study. Setting Clinics in Liège, Belgium and in France. Patients Participants with greater trochanteric pain syndrome and control asymptomatic participants. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures French translation of the VISA‐G and psychometric performances of the questionnaire tested using internal consistency, construct validity and test–retest reliability with a 7‐day interval. Results The eight items of the VISA‐G questionnaire were translated without any difficulties. The psychometric validation study included 106 participants (median age 53 [58‐64] years old, 65 women [61.3%]). The questionnaire discriminates well between pathologic (n = 52) and asymptomatic participants (n = 54). Moreover, we found a good internal consistency and excellent test–retest reliability for the VISA‐GF questionnaire. We also confirmed the construct validity and did not find any floor or ceiling effects. Conclusions The VISA‐GF has been shown to be a valid and reliable way to measure the severity of disability associated with greater trochanteric pain syndrome in French‐speaking participants.
