Background and Objectives: Appreciative assessment tools are necessary to implement the evaluation process in children with different disabilities. Versions of the children’s hand-use experience questionnaire (CHEQ) are available in several languages and are used in clinical environments. However, no study is conducted to compare the validity and reliability of this questionnaire in different languages. The current study aims to investigate the psychometric features of CHEQ in other languages.
Methods: The search was conducted in PubMed and Science Direct. Keywords included CHEQ, hand assessments, cross-cultural validation and psychometric properties.
Results: We identified 5 articles in which the psychometric properties of this questionnaire were investigated. In this paper, we reviewed all 5 articles and presented the results according to consensus-based standards for the selection of health status measurement instruments (COSMIN).
Conclusion: CHEQ is highly regarded to assess bimanual activities, particularly in children with hemiplegia. Its focus on hand usage experiences differentiates it from other tools in this domain. With demonstrated high validity and reliability, the CHEQ is adaptable across various societies and cultures, making it a valuable tool for treatment planning and evaluation.
