Cross-cultural validation of the Cebuano version of a screening questionnaire for Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In the Philippines, the exact prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) has not yet been determined. Although cases can be extrapolated from medical registries, this method may undermine actual case rates. A reliable screening tool for PD is essential for a timely diagnosis and community-based epidemiological studies. The most widely used screening questionnaire for PD diagnosis was developed by Tanner et al., which consists of nine questions about the motor symptoms of PD. Although this questionnaire has been translated to several languages, the translated version must be validated for use in our local setting.

Objective

To determine the validity of the Cebuano version of a PD screening questionnaire.

Method

The questionnaire was translated from Englis
