The Wheelchair Skills Test-Questionnaire form for Manual Wheelchairs Operated by Wheelchair Users (WSTQ-M-WCU 4.3) assesses wheelchair skills that may influence users' occupational performance in their daily activities. The purpose of this study was to cross-culturally adapt the WSTQ-M-WCU 4.3 to Brazilian Portuguese and to examine the inter-rater and test-retest reliabilities. This is a methodological study of cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of reliability. The agreement achieved in the cross-cultural adaptation concerning idiomatic, cultural, conceptual and semantic aspects was 100%, 99.2%, 100% and 96.18%, respectively. We analyzed the test-retest and inter-rater reliabilities in a convenience sample of 46 manual wheelchair users using Cronbach's Alpha and Bland-Altman plots. The Brazilian version has excellent internal consistency (α > 0.9) and strong inter-rater reliability ( < .05). This instrument can guide practitioners in training wheelchair skills, thus contributing to the planning of interventions and for evidence-based practice in Assistive Technology.
轮椅技能测试问卷-手动轮椅使用者版（WSTQ-M-WCU 4.3）评估了可能影响使用者在日常活动中职业表现的轮椅技能。本研究的目的是将 WSTQ-M-WCU 4.3 进行跨文化适应，转化为巴西葡萄牙语，并检验其评分者间信度和重测信度。这是一项关于可靠性的跨文化适应和心理测量学特性的方法学研究。在涉及成语、文化、概念和语义方面的跨文化适应中，达成的一致性分别为 100%、99.2%、100%和 96.18%。我们使用 Cronbach's Alpha 和 Bland-Altman 图分析了 46 名手动轮椅使用者的重测和评分者间信度的便利性样本。巴西版本具有极好的内部一致性（α>.9）和较强的评分者间信度（<.05）。该工具可以指导从业者进行轮椅技能培训，从而有助于辅助技术的干预计划和基于证据的实践。
