Summary
This study aims to translate and adapt a widely used questionnaire for musculoskeletal problems into Urdu. Researchers will enroll 110 Urdu-speaking adults, including patients with muscle or joint issues and healthy volunteers. The goal is to create a validated tool to measure symptoms like pain, stiffness, and weakness, which is currently lacking for this population.
