The Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM III) specifically assesses individuals with spinal cord injuries.
To translate and validate the Brazilian version of SCIM III.
SCIM III was translated, back-translated and adapted to the Portuguese language. Two interviewers assessed 83 subjects with spinal cord injuries in each one of seven collaborating rehabilitation centers. Functional Independence Measure (FIM™) and ASIA motor and sensory indices were also used. After six months, subjects were re-evaluated with the same instruments.
Examiners clearly understood the Brazilian version of SCIM III. Inter-rater intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.918, and test-retest ICC was 0.991. After six months, the variation of gains in the FIM™ positively correlated with gains in SCIM III.
The Brazilian version of the SCIM III is easy to understand, has good psychometric properties, and is valid.

翻译并验证巴西版的SCIM III。
对SCIM III进行翻译、回译并改编为葡萄牙语版本。两名访谈者在七个合作的康复中心分别对83名脊髓损伤患者进行评估。同时还使用了功能独立性评定量表(FIM™)以及美国脊髓损伤协会(ASIA)运动和感觉指数。六个月后,使用相同工具对患者进行重新评估。
检查者能够清晰理解巴西版的SCIM III。评定者间组内相关系数(ICC)为0.918,重测ICC为0.991。六个月后,FIM™得分的变化与SCIM III得分的变化呈正相关。
巴西版的SCIM III易于理解,具有良好的心理测量学特性且有效。
