Abstract
Aim: The laterality profile, that comprehends the indexes of handedness, footedness, eyedness and eardness, is widely used in different scopes of scientific knowledge. The Lateral Preference Inventory (LPI) is a simple tool that allows the laterality profile assessment. The objective of the present study is to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and reliability assessment of a Portuguese version of the LPI. Methods: The process of cross-cultural adaptation included the translation and back translation of the instrument, the assessment by a committee of experts and a pre-test. Outcome measures: Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s alpha were used to assess reliability. Results: the second version of the LPI was well accepted by the individuals in the pre-test phase, with only small inclusions to be made in the final version. Reliability assessment revealed excellent to moderate values in 12 items (0.7<α<α0.8), being poor in the case of eardness (α
