The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disorder that has a great impact in the quality of life of the patients. This study had the objective of validating the ALS Assessment Questionnaire in the Portuguese Language (ALSAQ-40/BR). The version of ALSAQ-40/BR, was adapted into the Portuguese language after the evaluation and re-evaluation of 20 patients with a defined ALS diagnosis. The demonstration of its reproducibility and reliability makes this instrument an additional and useful parameter which can be used in the evaluation of ALS for research or assistance.
肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）是一种退行性神经疾病，对患者的生活质量有很大影响。本研究旨在验证葡萄牙语版的肌萎缩侧索硬化症评估问卷（ALSAQ - 40/BR）。在对20例确诊为ALS的患者进行评估和重新评估后，将ALSAQ - 40/BR版本改编成了葡萄牙语。其可重复性和可靠性的证明使该工具成为一个额外且有用的参数，可用于ALS的研究或辅助评估。
