RESUMO
The aims of this study were to translate and investigate the interrater, test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the functional behavior profile (FBP) in an Italian population with multiple sclerosis. The Italian version of the FBP (FBP-I) was developed and the reliability of the final questionnaire was measured. A sample of 22 persons with clinically diagnosed multiple sclerosis was independently assessed by two raters. Interrater and test-retest reliability of the subscores and of the total score of the FBP-I were good to excellent. The internal consistency of the FBP-I was high. The FBP-I showed good psychometric properties and it can be used to assess functional status in Italian-speaking patients with multiple sclerosis.
