Cultural Adaptation of the Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool (VRFCAT) for Use in the UK and Canada

The poster contains a discussion of methods for cross-cultural adaptation of performance-based outcome assessments:

• Cultural adaptation of performance-based outcomes can improve the quality of these assessments by ensuring tasks, stimuli and instructions are understood
  and appropriate for use in populations of interest;
• Use of culturally appropriate materials is especially important for tests of functional capacity, which assess an individual’s potential to function in culturally specific real world environments;
• Description of cultural adaptation of the Virtual Reality Functional Capacity Assessment Tool (VRFCAT), a computer-based assessment of functional capacity originally developed for the U.S.
