“…We believed that these findings had influence on Stage 3 (back translation), where there was identified minimum disagreement between the two translators. This trend of having less modifications on the back translation has been observed on cross-cultural adaptation of other instruments [1,3,8,9]. We also observed that the single version of back translation, when compared to the original version of FMA, was very similar, which could be a result of the work on Stages 2, 3, and 4.…”

“…Regarding the field of assistive technology, few standardized assessments have been translated to Brazil Portuguese. Even though it is recognized that standardized assessments are essential to measure effectiveness of an intervention, today, in this country, few instruments are available for use, such as the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0), the Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment (ATD PA), the Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WSTQ version 4.3), and the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST version 4.3), for both the user and caregiver version [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Introduction. The Functional Mobility Assessment (FMA) measures satisfaction with mobility devices in daily life. However, in Brazil, there is a lack of instruments which measure functional mobility. Objective. We aim to report the cross-cultural adaptation process and face validity of the FMA for use in Brazil. Methods. Two international guidelines were used in the cross-cultural adaptation process. Two independent translators translated the instrument from English to Brazilian Portuguese, and the two versions were reconciled. Two different translators back translated this reconciled version, and an expert committee analysed the resulting synthesis. For face validity, the FMA was applied with 24 participants, divided into two groups, users with disabilities (n=12) and occupational therapy students (n=12), to verify their understanding of each item of the instrument. Results. The cross-cultural adaptation of the FMA was concluded, and its face validity presented that both groups understood most or completely all instrument items. Conclusion. The Brazilian version of FMA is now available in Brazilian Portuguese and has face validation. Further studies should test its psychometric properties.

“…The cross-cultural adaptation was guided by two international guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation studies: (a) guidelines for the process of cross-cultural adaptation of self-report published by Beaton et al (2000) and (b) guidelines published by the ISPOR Task Force for Translation and Cultural Adaptation (Wild et al, 2005). The process for cross-cultural adaptation proposed by Beaton et al (2000) was selected as the primary guideline for this study, as it has been recognized as one of the most frequently cited procedures for cross-cultural adaptation in Brazil and international studies (Beaton et al, 2000; Ossada et al, 2020; Paulisso et al, 2020).…”

“…It is recommended that translation research examines assessments from two different strata of potential users: (a) the lowest stratum of the assessment’s potential users who have minimal knowledge of the assessment tool and (b) the highest stratum of potential users who have extensive knowledge of the assessment tool (Ossada et al, 2020; Paulisso et al, 2020). The expert committee represented the highest stratum.…”

The Occupational Self-Assessment version 2.2 (OSA) is a self-assessment of the client’s occupational competence and values. To describe the process of cross-cultural adaptation of OSA into Brazilian Portuguese (OSA-Brazil) and examine its reliability and validity for use with the Brazilian population. Assessment translation was guided by two international guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of standardized instruments. Face validity was tested with 24 participants. Internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and convergent validity were tested with a convenience sample of 40 participants. The cross-cultural adaptation process concluded with a consensus among the expert panel review ( r > 80%) and evidence of strong face validity. The OSA-Brazil demonstrated appropriate test–retest reliability ( r > 0.70) and convergent validity with the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) ( p < .05). The OSA-Brazil has good face validity, test–retest reliability, and convergent validity. The assessment can be used by the Brazilian occupational therapists to assess client’s occupational competence.

“…The neurological functioning was assessed by the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury using the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) [26]. They were also evaluated with the scale Spinal Cord Independence Measure - third version (SCIM III) [27] and Wheelchair Skills Test - Questionnaire (WST-Q, v.4.3) [28]. Additionally, each participant underwent the sitting test, as described below.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the T-shirt test (TST) in assessing sitting stability under three thigh support conditions and with timed outcomes derived in six ways among individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI). The TST was performed five times under three thigh support conditions (85%, 55% and 25% of total thigh length) in two evaluations spaced between 7−14 days. For each thigh condition, six different outcomes were derived (average or best time from 2, 3, and 5 trial). All outcomes derivation showed excellent reliability on test day (intraclass correlation coefficient; ICC ≥ 0.997) and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC ≥ 0.874) for each thigh support condition. The TST showed high inverse correlations with the Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM)-mobility score for all outcomes and support conditions (ρ≥−0.706), except for Best-5; moderate inverse correlations with total SCIM-total scores for most outcome derivations and support conditions (ρ≥−0.636); and a moderate inverse correlation with confidence and capacity domains of Wheelchair Skills Test-Questionnaire for most outcome derivation and support conditions (ρ≥−0.504). The TST could discriminate cervical from high and low thoracic levels of injuries under minimal thigh support condition. Overall, all the TST-derived outcomes and support conditions showed adequate validity and test-retest reliability, but Best-5 had inconsistency. Under the minimal thigh support condition, all outcome derivations except Best-3 could discriminate cervical from other injury-level groups. Although all outcome derivations and thigh support conditions provided reliable results, we recommend using the average of 3 trials under the maximal thigh support condition.
