These measurement tools provide; monitoring and evaluation during the ICU admission and assessment efficacy of treatment in the unit. The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool(CPAX) has been shown to valid, reliable and to exhibited strong clinimetric properties. CPAx is a numerical measurement tool, rated according to the 6-point Guttman Scale, from complete dependence to independence and consist of ten physical function parameters. This study is aimed at providing an translation and cross-cultural adaptation of Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assesment Tool (CPAx) and tested its reliability and validity.
