About this trial
This study aims to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Urdu version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire for individuals with upper limb disabilities. Since no validated Urdu version currently exists, Urdu-speaking patients face communication barriers that may lead to inaccurate assessment and limited clinical decision-making. By ensuring semantic equivalence through forward-backward translation and expert review, the study seeks to develop a version that is both linguistically accurate and culturally appropriate.
