The reliability, validity and sensitivity to instrument change validations were carried out, as well as the values of minimally relevant clinical differences. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach´s alpha test on CARAT-global: 0.83 [IC 95% 0.79-0.88]; test and retest evaluation was done with Pearson´s correlation coefficient: 0.6 [IC 95% 0.32-0.77] an
