The study design was a cross-cultural validation of Neuro Qol the Arabic version, for patients with DFUs. Three expert panels were involved in this study to test the face and content validity of the NeuroQol Arabic version. All experts had experience of not less than 10 years or at least a master's degree in physical therapy; a major part of their work is with the Arabic population; and they were also fluent in Arabic and English.~Ten patients per item were chosen to estimate the sample size for testing the psychometric properties of the Neuro Qol Arabic version. So 290 patients (145 male patients and 145 female patients), were chosen according to specific eligibility criteria.
