Study design

Clinimetric Study.

Objectives

To translate and cross-cultural adapt the Capabilities of Upper Extremity (CUE) questionnaire into Hindi Language and assess the psychometric properties of the CUE-Hindi (CUE-H).

Setting

Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, New Delhi, INDIA.

Methods

The CUE-H translation and cross-cultural adaptation followed standardized guidelines. The pre-final version was tested for clarity and comprehensibility. Content Validity Estimation was done using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Cronbach’s alpha was used for assessing the internal consistency and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for assessing the test-retest reliability.

Results

All steps of the translation process were followed and documented. The CUE-H was found to be comprehensive to patients and easy to administer. Content Validity estimation resulted in the retention of all the questionnaire items. The ICC was 0.99 and Cronbach’s alpha for the scale was 0.94.

Conclusions

The CUE-H demonstrated acceptable measurement properties, showing that it can be used for assessing upper limb functional limitations in Hindi-speaking people with SCI. It can be used as an assessment tool for clinical management or research.

印地语版上肢能力 (CUE-H) 的跨文化适应、有效性和可靠性

学习规划

临床测量研究。

目标

将上肢能力 (CUE) 问卷翻译成印地语并进行跨文化改编，并评估 CUE-印地语 (CUE-H) 的心理测量特性。

环境

印度脊柱损伤中心，印度新德里。

方法

CUE-H 翻译和跨文化改编遵循标准化指南。预最终版本经过了清晰度和可理解性测试。使用定性和定量方法进行内容有效性评估。Cronbach's alpha 用于评估内部一致性，组内相关系数 (ICC) 用于评估重测可靠性。

结果

翻译过程的所有步骤均得到遵循并记录。我们发现 CUE-H 对患者来说非常全面且易于管理。内容有效性评估导致保留所有调查问卷项目。该量表的 ICC 为 0.99，Cronbach's alpha 为 0.94。

结论

CUE-H 表现出可接受的测量特性，表明它可用于评估印地语 SCI 患者的上肢功能限制。它可以用作临床管理或研究的评估工具。
