Summary
This study aims to translate and validate a Catalan version of the QuickDASH questionnaire, a widely used tool for measuring upper extremity disability. The research involves Catalan-speaking adults with upper limb disorders and follows a two-phase process: translation and cultural adaptation, followed by psychometric testing. The goal is to provide a reliable and officially recognized Catalan version for use in clinical practice and research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable Catalan-language tool for assessing upper limb disability in clinics and research.
- What could go wrong
- The study is observational and focuses on questionnaire validation, so it won't test any treatment. Its success depends on the translation and psychometric properties being acceptable.
