Objective: Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices scale designed to assess the effects of assistive device on functional independence, well-being and quality of life. The objective of this study is to find the test-retest reliability and construct validity in individuals with spinal cord injury. Study Design: Methodological design Setting: ISIC Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences Method: A convenient sample of twenty-seven spinal cord injury subjects was recruited after being assessed for inclusion and exclusion criteria. A duly signed consent was taken prior to the study and demographic data of the subject was collected. Subjects completed Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS) at baseline and three scales (PIADS, QUEST and Bofi-SCI) were administered again after a week interval. Results: The result for test-retest reliability showed a strong positive correlation with ICC=0.9 **. Construct validity was also assessed and moderately strong negative correlation was found between PIADS and QUEST (r= -0.6 *) and weak negative correlation was found between PIADS and Bofi-SCI (r=0.1 ) Conclusion: PIADS is a highly reliable and valid tool to assess the effect of assistive device on quality of life in individuals with spinal cord injury. Keywords: Spinal Cord Injury, assistive device, quality of life, reliability, validity
