Core Tip	This study presents the first Hindi translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the strength, assistance in walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls questionnaire for sarcopenia screening among cancer patients in India. Using standardized forward-backward translation and international adaptation guidelines, the Hindi version demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and strong content validity. The translated tool provides a linguistically and culturally appropriate instrument for functional assessment in Hindi-speaking populations and may facilitate routine sarcopenia screening in resource-constrained oncology settings.
