Abstract

Objective: To adapt the Spinal Cord Injury Spasticity Evaluation Tool (SCI-SET) into the Persian language (SCI-SETp) and to examine the reliability and validity of the SCI-SETp in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: A cross-sectional and prospective cohort validation study. Setting: University Neurological Physiotherapy Clinic. Participants: Adult patients with SCI. Main Outcome Measures: SCI-SET. Results: There was no missing data. No floor or ceiling effect was observed. Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.862. Factor analysis suggested 1 factor structure (Eigenvalue = 8.49) explained 24.27% of the total variance. The ICCagreement for test-retest reliability was 0.84. The standard error of measurement and the smallest detectable change was 0.30 and 0.82, respectively. The divergent relationships demonstrated the SCI-SETp uniqueness construct. Conclusion: The results support the reliability and validity of the SCI-SETp for assessing the impact of spasticity on daily life of patients with SCI. © 2016, © The Academy of Spinal Cord Injury Professionals, Inc. 2016.
