Objective: Participation restriction is a significant consequence for post-stroke individuals. In Brazil, there are no instruments available that comprehensively address participation in this population. Therefore, this study cross-culturally adapted the Subjective Index of Physical and Social Outcome (SIPSO) for use in Brazil. The SIPSO is a 10-item questionnaire covering participation questions considered significant for post-stroke individuals. Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation process involved the following steps: translation, back-translation, synthesis of translations, analysis by an expert committee and testing of the pre-final version. Results: Appropriate semantic equivalence was observed between the original and back-translated versions. During the expert meeting, the items were adapted to the grammatical rules of the Portuguese language. In the test of the pre-final version, one item of the instrument was reported as having difficulty in understanding, and an example was added to increase the possibility of understanding the item. Conclusion: SIPSO-Brasil presented a satisfactory degree of semantic, idiomatic, cultural, conceptual and operational equivalence. However, further studies must be conducted to continue the investigation of the validity of the adapted version of the instrument.
