UNASSIGNED: The objective of this study is to validate an existing health-related quality of life questionnaire for @entity1 with @entity4402 in @entity3541 for implementation in the Dutch language and culture. The Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire was translated into the Dutch language using a forward-backward translation method. A pilot test with the translated questionnaire was performed in 10 @entity1 with @entity3541 and 10 normal subjects. Finally, cross-cultural adaption was accomplished at our outpatient clinic for @entity3541 . Analyses for internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity were performed. Sixty-six @entity1 completed the Dutch Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire and the Dutch @entity717 Index. Cronbach's a, representing internal consistency, was 0.80. Test-retest reliability was 0.53 (Spearman's correlation coefficient, P  <  0.01). Correlations with the House-Brackmann score, Sunnybrook score, @entity717 Index physical function, and social/well-being function were -0.29, 0.20, -0.29, and -0.32, respectively. Correlation with the Sunnybrook @entity4402 subscore was 0.50 (Spearman's correlation coefficient). The Dutch Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire shows good psychometric values and can be implemented in the management of Dutch-speaking @entity1 with @entity3541 and @entity4402 in the Netherlands. Translation of the instrument into other languages may lead to widespread use, making evaluation, and comparison possible among different providers.
