Post-stroke fatigue is a disturbing condition with various physical and psychological facets, which needs to be assessed by meaningful and psychometrically valid and reliable tools. The Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ) and Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF) have been designed to assess diverse dimensions of fatigue. The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the CFQ and MFSI-SF in people with chronic stroke. Both measures were translated according to forward-backward standard protocol. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 130 first-time stroke survivors. The multidimensional fatigue inventory, checklist individual strength, fatigue assessment scale, fatigue subscale of profiles of mood state, fatigue severity scale, visual analogue scale-fatigue, beck anxiety inventory, center for epidemiologic studies of depression scale, and 36-item short-form health survey were administered in addition to the CFQ and MFSI-SF. Reliability, precision, known-groups validity, and convergent validity were examined for the CFQ and MFSI-SF. The results showed an acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.81–0.97) internal consistency and test–retest reliability (intra-class correlation = 0.75–0.97). The CFQ and MFSI-SF revealed good ability ( P  &lt; 0.001) to differentiate chronic stroke survivors with different disability levels. Significant high correlation ( P  = −0.61–0.87) was found between CFQ and MFSI-SF and other fatigue scales. The results of this study showed that the CFQ and MFSI-SF have high reliability and validity for chronic stroke survivors.
