Quality of life is conceded by copious musculoskeletal and neurogenic conditions which are evaluated by manifold questionnaires. These questionnaires are obtainable in English and many other languages but in Pakistan, these cannot be applied due to differences in languages, lifestyles, culture, and activities of daily living (ADL's). In relation to the culture of Pakistan, there are many accomplishments such as offer prayers and other domestic obligation which cannot be executed appropriately if any Musculoskeletal and neurogenic disorders are existing. All these disorders can be assessed appropriately by questionnaires previously accessible but not in a single tool.
HHIRS developed a general quality of life questionnaire in the Urdu language for the expediency of patients. Relation of the questionnaire with upper limb has been identified but there is no clear relation with other body regions. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the HHIRS-General-QOL Questionnaire in the Urdu Speaking Population of Pakistan.
