Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Duke Activity Status Index in Women With Lipedema
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) in women with lipedema. DASI is a 12-item questionnaire designed to assess functional capacity based on activities of daily living. The study will examine the test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the Turkish DASI and investigate its validity by examining its relationships with functional exercise capacity, lower extremity function, and health-related quality of life. The findings are expected to determine whether the Turkish DASI is a valid and reliable tool for assessing functional capacity in women with lipedema.

Duke Activity Status Index (DASI)
The Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) is a 12-item self-administered questionnaire used to assess functional capacity based on activities of daily living. The total score ranges from 0 to 58.2, with higher scores indicating better functional capacity. The Turkish version of the DASI will be administered at the initial assessment and repeated after 7 days to evaluate test-retest reliability.
