What this trial studies
This research aims to translate and validate the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) for Dutch-speaking adults with lower limb prostheses. The study is conducted in two phases: first, the translation of the PEQ following established guidelines, and second, the validation of the translated questionnaire through a series of assessments over three months with 84 participants. Participants will complete the PEQ-DLV along with other surveys at baseline, two weeks, and three months to evaluate its reliability and validity.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a reliable tool for assessing the quality of life in Dutch-speaking individuals with lower limb prostheses.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have successfully validated similar questionnaires in different languages, indicating a promising approach for this validation effort.
