What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
