Post-stroke hemiparesis causes compensated postures, which can modify the footedness established before the impairment. Recently, a paresis severity-modulated dominance hypothesis stated that measures to detect footedness become crucial to float new ideas for neurorehabilitation strategies. The Waterloo Footedness Questionnaire-Revised (WFQ-R) represents the most acceptable measure but it had not yet been cross-culturally adapted for Portuguese spoken in Brazil. Our aim was to cross-culturally adapt the WFQ-R to Brazilian Portuguese, verifying its reliability. We completed the essential steps to cross-culturally adapt one version, tested in 12 patients with post-stroke hemiparesis and 12 able-bodied individuals, sampled by convenience, to verify reliability. Measurements were taken by two independent raters during the test and by one of them at the one-week retest. No great semantic, linguistic or cultural differences were found, and acceptable reliability was recorded. The WFQ-R-Brazil is reliable and ready for use in the Brazilian able-bodied and post-stroke hemiparesis population.
中风后偏瘫会导致代偿性姿势，这可能会改变损伤前已确立的利足性。最近，一种偏瘫严重程度调节优势假说指出，检测利足性的措施对于提出神经康复策略的新想法至关重要。《滑铁卢利足性问卷修订版》（WFQ-R）是最可接受的测量方法，但尚未针对巴西葡萄牙语进行跨文化改编。我们的目标是将WFQ-R跨文化改编为巴西葡萄牙语，并验证其可靠性。我们完成了跨文化改编一个版本的必要步骤，对12名中风后偏瘫患者和12名身体健全的个体进行了测试，这些个体通过便利抽样选取，以验证可靠性。在测试期间由两名独立评分者进行测量，在一周后的重新测试中由其中一名评分者进行测量。未发现重大语义、语言或文化差异，并记录了可接受的可靠性。巴西版WFQ-R可靠，可用于巴西身体健全和中风后偏瘫人群。
