Hindi Translation, Content Validation and Test-Retest Reliability of the postural assessment scale for stroke patient.

sensorimotor impairment in individuals who have had stroke. This scale was first proposed by recovery in their paper titled “The post-stroke hemiplegic patient: A method for evaluation of physical performance”. It is now widely used for clinical assessment of motor function to evaluate the extent of motor impairment and the progress of rehabilitation in stroke patients and those with coordination, and reflexes, to determine the level of disability and track improvements over time.[1] A cross-sectional study  English by 2 translators (i.e.) T1 and T2 from medical and non-medical background respectively.The recording observer then takes a seat to create a T12 version of the translated questionnaire.similar upper extremity motor deficits and assesses various functions, including movements,The Postural assessment scale for stroke patient (PASS) is index to assess theThe study method includes the translation of the (PASS) in Hindi language fromThe purpose of this study is to translate into Hindi version of (PASS) and to should be precisely evaluated and understood by the Indian population. In fact, a correctfor population who only communicate and understand Hindi language. It is necessary that it exposition of the items by patients is crucial to obtain correct feedback thus making the questionnaire valid to evaluate patient’s contentment and wellbeing.evaluate its validity and test -retest reliability.Charles Benaim and his colleagues in 1999 as a standardized assessment test for post-strokeEnglish, Swedish, Turkish ,Arabic ,French , Norwegian , Arabic ,Spanish, Portuguese , Urdu,version of (PASS) are available for assessment, but no Hindi version of (PASS) is yet available5The reverse translation from the T12 form to the previous form is now being done. Then, an expert panel analyses all the stages and all of the questionnaire items that the translated form of the questionnaire is free of errors, allowing it to be field tested. Evaluation of content’s validity isdone. The pre-final form is then fully tested on patients, and the scale’s validity is reported. Finally, the translated questionnaire version will be analyzed by the ethics committee. The test-retest reliability is computed by measuring subjects at two distinct occasions and then computing the correlation.
