The assessment of quality of life has been increasingly used by health professionals to measure the consequences of disease on patients' lives and evaluate the results of treatments. The growing interest in clinical research protocols of non-arthritic hip diseases has found many difficulties in dealing with the objective assessment of its results, especially in observational studies of new therapeutic interventions such as arthroscopy. The Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) is a clinical assessment tool, originally developed in English to evaluate the function of the hip joint in young and physically active patients. The aim of this study was to translate this instrument into Portuguese, adapt it to the Brazilian culture and validate it, in order to evaluate quality of life of Brazilian patients with hip pain without osteoarthritis. The methodology used is suggested by Guillemin et al., (1993) and reviewed by Beaton et al., (2000), who proposed a set of standardized instructions for cultural adaptation of instruments for quality of life, including five steps: translation, back translation, review by committee, pre-test and test with a reassessment of the weights of scores, if relevant. The consensus version was administered to 30 individuals. Questions about sports and household chores were modified to better adapt to the Brazilian culture. The Brazilian version of Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS-Brasil) was answered by 64 patients with hip pain to evaluate the measurement properties of the instrument: reproducibility, internal consistency and validity. Reproducibility was 0.9, showing a strong correlation; the internal consistency showed a correlation between 0,8 and 0,9, considered good and excellent; the validity was considered good and excellent respectively; the correlation between NAHS-Brasil and WOMAC was 0,9, and the correlation between NAHS-Brasil and Lequesne Algofunctional Index was 0.79. The Nonarthritic Hip Score was translated into Portuguese and adapted to Brazilian culture, according to the instruction set of standardized instruments for cultural adaptation of quality of life. Its reliability, internal consistency and validity have also been demonstrated.
