Abstract
Translation of psychometrically sound instruments into different local languages is per-ceived to allow easy accessibility and understanding of the instruments. There is a dearth of valid and relia-ble versions of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in Nigerian languages. The purpose of this study was to translate and establish the psychometric properties of the Hausa version of the ODI (ODI-H).
