Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cross-Cultural Translation of Dizziness Handicap Inventory Scale into the local languages (Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Balochi and Urdu)

  The Dizziness Handicap Inventory Scale is a first-hand measure of disability for patients with vertigo and dizziness. The mentioned questionnaire comprises 25 questions that categorize the dizziness effects in three main areas namely; functional (9 questions, 36 points), emotional (9 questions, 36 points) and physical (7 questions, 28 points). The maximum score is 100 and the minimum is 0. The higher the score, the greater handicap is considered. It distinguishes itself from other published scales as it has an approach that deals with the concepts of disability and its assessment. Its translation is to be done in the local languages of Pakistan through a rigorous and approved process.
