Adaptación transcultural y fiabilidad del trunk control test versión argentina en sujetos con secuela de lesión medular espinal

The study adapts a test called the Trunk Control Test (TCT) for use in Argentina. This test measures how well people with spinal cord injuries can control their trunk or torso. The researchers translated the test into Argentinian Spanish and checked if it was reliable, meaning if it gives similar results when used by different therapists or at different times. The results showed that while the test could be adapted, it wasn't very reliable in its current form, suggesting that more work is needed to improve it.

• 2
  The intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the scale or subdomains of the adapted TCT did not achieve a sufficient score in the study population.
• 3
  The adaptation was achieved through semantic changes and the reliability was not sufficient.
