Neurological disorders include central and/or peripheral nervous system disorders and affect 1 billion people worldwide and a large number of new cases are expected over the next 30 years. These diseases cause functional loss and consequent development of disabilities, and therefore need to be thoroughly evaluated. The Neurological Impairment Scale (NIS) has items considered essential for functional assessment (incorporated from the FIM and FAM scales) and at the same time encodes dysfunctions based on the ICF. Objective: To translate and cross-cultural adapt the Brazilian version of the Neurological Impairment Scale (NIS) in patients with acute neurological disease. Method: The research method developed was divided into 4 stages: authorization, translation, synthesis, back translation, expert review and pretest. In the pretest, the Neurological Impairment Scale Brazilian version and the FIM were applied to 10 patients with neurological disease admitted to a hospital. The reliability and validity of this instrument were analyzed. Results: Content, construct and concurrent validity was evidenced, as well as the high internal consistency (reliability) of the Brazilian NIS when applied to the sample of neurological patients. It was not possible to evidence the predictive validity of this instrument. Conclusion: The Brazilian NIS was considered a valid, reliable and culturally adapted instrument for the Brazilian population. Further studies using this scale are estimated to disseminate and consolidate its use by health professionals in Brazil.
