Resumo
O controle motor seletivo é um elemento essencial do movimento humano típico, que permite o domínio ágil e independente do movimento articular. Este, quando prejudicado, caracteriza um dos deficits neuromusculares inter-relacionados à paralisia cerebral (PC). O Test of Arm Selective Control (TASC) foi desenvolvido visando avaliar de forma sistemática a habilidade de crianças com PC de mover o membro superior com controle motor voluntário seletivo (CMVS). O objetivo do presente estudo foi obter a tradução, adaptação cultural e validade do TASC para o português do Brasil. Como resultados, foram produzidas duas versões em português, denominadas T1 e T2 e realizada a síntese das traduções. A partir dela, duas retrotraduções foram realizadas e novo processo de síntese gerou a versão única da retrotradução. Após aprovação da versão retrotraduzida pelas autoras da escala, iniciou-se o processo de avaliação do comitê de especialistas composto por três profissionais da reabilitação que avaliaram as equivalências semântica, idiomática e conceitual. Uma especialista sugeriu manter a sigla TASC e adicionar o sufixo BR (TASC-BR) no título da versão brasileira. Foi obtida a versão preliminar do TASC-BR que foi enviado a mais de 30 profissionais para procedimento de adaptação cultural e validade de conteúdo (teste da versão preliminar do TASC-BR). Até a conclusão desta dissertação, quatro profissionais realizaram o teste da versão preliminar e responderam aos questionários de adaptação cultural e validade de conteúdo. Conclui-se que a TASC-BR foi adequadamente traduzida, seguindo todas as etapas recomendadas internacionalmente. A pandemia de COVID-19 impactou no andamento deste estudo sendo necessária alteração no prazo para publicação da versão final do instrumento até que se atinja a amostra total de aplicações da versão preliminar do instrumento e se concluam os procedimentos de adaptação cultural e validade de conteúdo.
Selective motor control is an essential element of typical human movement, which allows agile and independent control of joint movement. This, when impaired, characterizes one of the neuromuscular deficits interrelated to cerebral palsy (CP). The Test of Arm Selective Control (TASC) was developed to systematically evaluate the ability of children with CP to move the upper limb with selective voluntary motor control (CVMC). The aim of the present study was to obtain the cultural adaptation and content validity of TASC to brazilian portuguese. Two versions were produced in portuguese, called T1 and T2 and then, summarized in a single translated version. Posteriorly, two back-translations were produced and a new synthesis process generated the single version of the back-translation. After approval of the back-translated version by the authors of the original scale, this version was analyzed by an expert committee, composed of three rehabilitation professionals, who evaluated it as semantic, idiomatic and conceptual equivalences. One expert suggested keeping the acronym TASC and adding the suffix BR (TASC-BR) to the title of the brazilian version. A preliminary version of the instrument was generated and sent to more than 30 professionals for a cultural adaptation and content validity procedure. Until this moment, four professionals performed the preliminary version test and answered the cultural adaptation and content validity questionnaires. It is concluded that TASC-BR was translated, following all internationally recommended steps. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the progress of this study, requiring a change in the deadline for publication of the final version of the instrument until the full sample of applications of the preliminary version is reached and the procedures for cultural adaptation and content validity are completed.
