title: [Questionnaire impact on participation and autonomy (IPA)].
abstract: There are many problems which can decrease the quality of life of disabled persons. It means either social condition, family life, education, vocational status, sport, recreation and psychological implications. The Impact on Participation and Autonomy Questionnaire (IPA) is a valid, reliable and acceptable measure of participation and autonomy in people with a range of conditions, especially with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and rheumatoid arthritis. The psychometric properties of IPA are promising and indicate that IPA has potential to be developed further. Most respondents believe that the IPA items are easy or very easy to understand, relevant and not embarrassing. In review report the own translation of IPA into Polish language has been presented.
