The Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo) test was translated and adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Two English language proficient professionals independently translated the original scale for the Brazilian Portuguese (T1 and T2). Following, the translated version of consensus was generated (TU). Two translators performed two versions in English (BT1 and BT2) of the TU version. A new process of consensus between translators and researchers resulted in an English version (BTfinal) that was compared with the original version, aiming to detect possible semantic differences. The version of the instrument in Brazilian Portuguese (TU), called Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control, was revised by the experts’ committee, composed of three physical therapists for content checking and the second version of agreement was generated (Tfinal). Tfinal was submitted to one of the original scale authors to check the understanding of the Brazilian Portuguese version. After this step, 20 physical therapists applied the scale in children with Cerebral Palsy. Part of the physical therapists indicates the need for complementary information in the description of instructions and score.Downloads
