Özet
Objective: The purpose of the work reported here was to provide a
practical model for translation and cultural adaptation of a rehabilitation
test instrument, while carrying out the Turkish adaptation of Motor
Activity Log-28 (MAL-28). We translated the MAL-28 into Turkish in a
manner that would allow the work carried out with Turkish speaking
patients to be compared directly with the published studies using this
instrument, which have mainly had English speaking subjects.
Materials and Methods: The translation and cultural adaptation were
carried out according to the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics
and Outcomes Research guideline (ISPOR) using the following steps:
forward translation, reconciliation, back translation, back translation
review, harmonization, cognitive debriefing, review of cognitive
debriefing test results and finalization. The participants were thirteen
eligible patients chosen from a total of 21 post-stroke patients.
Results: Twenty-two of the 28 items were identical in the three forward
translations, while six required minor modifications to make them
appropriate for use in Turkish-speaking patients.
Conclusion: A practical model for translation and cultural adaptation of
the MAL-28 into Turkish was employed. The translated and adapted test
proved to be easily understood by the patients and interviewer. Turk J
