    The hereditary ataxias comprise a very large spectrum of genetically determined neurodegenerative disorders with progressive ataxia as the prominent symptom. In order to measure the severity of cerebellar ataxia in an easier and more practical way, it was proposed a new scale: the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA). The objective of this study was to translate and validate SARA into Brazilian Portuguese. METHOD: The SARA was translated into Brazilian Portuguese, analyzed, back translated to English, and compared to the original version. It was applied to 30 patients. In addition to SARA, we applied the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) in all subjects. RESULTS: SARA scale was translated into Brazilian version with adequate internal consistence, but a significant correlation between ICARS and SARA was not found. CONCLUSION: SARA was translated and validated into Brazilian Portuguese language, showing good reliability and validity.As ataxias hereditárias compreendem grande espectro de doenças neurodegenerativas geneticamente determinadas, tendo como sintoma preponderante a ataxia de instalação progressiva.

Além disso, nós aplicamos também a Escala Cooperativa Internacional para Graduação de Ataxia (ICARS) em todos os pacientes. RESULTADOS: A escala SARA foi traduzida para a versão brasileira com adequada consistência interna, mas uma correlação significativa com a escala ICARS não foi encontrada. CONCLUSÃO: A escala SARA foi traduzida e validada para o português brasileiro, demonstrando boa confiabilidade e validade.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Escola Paulista de Medicina (EPM) Department of Neurology and NeurosurgeryUNIFESP, EPM, Department of Neurology and NeurosurgerySciEL

    Training models and status of clinical neuropsychologists in Europe: results of a survey on 30 countries

    open10Objective: The aims of the study were to analyze the current European situation of specialist education and training within clinical neuropsychology, and the legal and professional status of clinical neuropsychologists in different European countries. Method: An online survey was prepared in 2016 by a Task Force established by the European Federation of Psychological Associations, and representatives of 30 countries gave their responses. Response rate was 76%. Results: Only three countries were reported to regulate the title of clinical neuropsychologist as well as the education and practice of clinical neuropsychologists by law. The most common university degree required to practice clinical neuropsychology was the master’s degree; a doctoral degree was required in two countries. The length of the specialist education after the master’s degree varied between 12 and 60 months. In one third of the countries, no commonly agreed upon model for specialist education existed. A more systematic training model and a longer duration of training were associated with independence in the work of clinical neuropsychologists. Conclusions: As legal regulation is mostly absent and training models differ, those actively practicing clinical neuropsychology in Europe have a very heterogeneous educational background and skill level. There is a need for a European standardization of specialist training in clinical neuropsychology. Guiding principles for establishing the common core requirements are presented.openHokkanen, Laura*; Lettner, Sandra; Barbosa, Fernando; Constantinou, Marios; Harper, Lauren; Kasten, Erich; Mondini, Sara; Persson, Bengt; Varako, Nataliya; Hessen, ErikHokkanen, Laura; Lettner, Sandra; Barbosa, Fernando; Constantinou, Marios; Harper, Lauren; Kasten, Erich; Mondini, Sara; Persson, Bengt; Varako, Nataliya; Hessen, Eri
