	<abstract>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives&lt;/strong&gt;: To translate the spinal cord injury spasticity evaluation tool (SCI-SET) into Urdu and evaluate its psychometric properties.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: This cross-sectional study was conducted over ten months at General Hospital, Lahore City, Pakistan, and Riphah Rehabilitation Centre in Lahore City. A sample of 175 participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) was selected through non-probability convenience sampling. Participants were aged 18&amp;ndash;45 years, literate in Urdu, lived with SCI for at least six months, and scored &amp;ge;24 on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Patients with cognitive or neurological disorders were excluded. The SCI-SET was translated into Urdu (SCI-SETu) following COSMIN guidelines. Data were collected using the SCI-SETu and the functional independence measure (FIM). The analysis was performed using SPSS software, version 21. Internal consistency (Cronbach&amp;rsquo;s &amp;alpha;), test re-test reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], with 95% confidence interval [CI]), and construct validity (Pearson&amp;rsquo;s correlation with FIM) were assessed.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The SCI-SETu demonstrated excellent internal consistency with a Cronbach&amp;rsquo;s &amp;alpha; coefficient of 0.803 (95% CI, 0.759%, 0.842%). No floor or ceiling effects were observed. Construct validity was supported by a strong positive Pearson correlation with the FIM (r=0.788, P&lt;0.01). The tool also showed good test re-test reliability, with an ICC of 0.801 (95% CI, 0.739%, 0.85%) and a standard error of measurement (SEM) of 0.17.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Discussion&lt;/strong&gt;: The Urdu version of SCI-SETu demonstrated strong validity, test re-test reliability, and internal consistency, confirming it as a valuable tool for assessment in clinical and research settings.&lt;/div&gt;</abstract>
