Evidence of validity for the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM).. A potential disadvantage of the FAAM is that the FAAM does not quantify outcome at the level of quality of life. Notwithstanding the ProQuest Terms and Conditions, you may use this content in accordance with the terms of the License. Demonstrated that ADL subscale provides information regarding physical functioning in the lower range of ability while SPORTS subscale is able to collect information in the higher range of ability. 99) with a S.

Martin R. L. - Irrgang J. J. Foot & ankle international. Table IV Spearman's rank correlation coefficient of the FAAM and SF-36 subscales (N = 91). The results of the present study must be generalized cautiously, because the population represented a sample with young age, with a prevalence of males and with a dominant diagnosis of lateral ankle sprain. You can download the paper by clicking the button above. SHOWING 1-10 OF 24 REFERENCES. All correlation coefficients were significant at P ≤ 0. For internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0. 78 for SPORTS subscale) observed in the present study. Negahban H. - Mazaheri M. - Salavati M. - Sohani S. M. - Askari M. - Fanian H. Reliability and validity of the foot and ankle outcome score: a validation study from Iran. The ADL and SPORTS subscales had stronger correlation with SF-36 physical function (r = 0.

In conjunction with the FAAM to be able to measure quality of life in people with foot and ankle disorders. 13, resulting in MDC of 8. The Persian version of locomotor capabilities index: translation, reliability and validity in individuals with lower limb amputation. Structural and Construct Validity of the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) With an Emphasis on Pain and Functionality After Foot Surgery: A Multicenter Study. In addition, construct validity of the FAAM has been verified in athletes with chronic ankle instability.
The Journal of manual & manipulative therapyThe effectiveness of strain counterstrain in the treatment of patients with chronic ankle instability: A randomized clinical trial. The significant difference of SPORTS scores between the two groups in the present study implies that subjects with foot and ankle disorders have more difficulties in sports activities rather than ADL. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society [and] Swiss Foot and Ankle SocietyPsychometric Comparison of the PROMIS Physical Function CAT With the FAAM and FFI for Measuring Patient-Reported Outcomes. Professional Association Recommendation. Although the FAAM has been shown to have a good evidence of psychometric properties, its additional validation in other cultures is needed in order to compare and contrast assessments made in different countries.
When scoring the FAAM, there should be two scores, one for each subscale. Physiotherapy Theory and PracticeClinical decision making in a patient with secondary hip-spine syndrome. Evidence for reliability, validity and responsiveness of Turkish Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). Medicine, PsychologySpine. 4, - Carcia C. R. - Drouin J. M. Validity of the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure in athletes with chronic ankle instability. The differences between these correlations were significant for 14 items of ADL subscale and 6 items of SPORTS subscale. Therefore, Cronbach's alpha does not measure the unidimensionality of an instrument. Journal of Rehabilitation MedicineSystematic review of outcome measures of walking training using electromechanical and robotic devices in patients with stroke. All correlations were statistically significant (P < 0. Wagner A. K. - Gandek B. Occupational Performance. The MDC and MCID for the ADL subscale and Sports subscale are 5. The FAAM is a self-report measure that assesses physical function of individuals with lower leg, foot, and ankle musculoskeletal disorders. Quality of Life ResearchGastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI): Development and validation of a patient reported assessment of severity of gastroparesis symptoms.
The study aimed to create a measure with items that would evaluate overall physical performance of patients with a wide variety of foot, ankle, and leg disorders. Computation of mean difference with 95% CI showed that the SPORTS scores (mean. Based on item-response theory analysis, Martin et al. Therefore, a higher score reflects a higher level of physical function. FAAM scores were greater in individuals who rated their function as normal or nearly normal compared with those who rated as abnormal or severely abnormal for SPORTS (P = 0. Foot and Ankle SurgeryPatient-reported outcome measures in hallux valgus surgery. 3) "slight difficulty". Publication history. 80) than with SF-36 MH (r. 0. The Spearman's correlation coefficient was higher than 0. 04) but not for ADL (P = 0. While the unidimensionality of each instrument needs to be measured by performing factor analysis, the sample size of the present study was not sufficient enough to do such analysis. Nauck T, Lohrer H. Translation, cross-cultural adaption and validation of the German version of the foot and ankle ability measure for patients with chronic ankle instability.
Evidence of validity for the Japanese version of the foot and ankle ability measure. Understanding the relevance of measured change through studies of responsiveness. Consult with the appropriate professionals before taking any legal action. The results of the present study provided evidences for psychometric properties (floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency, test–retest reliability, item internal consistency and discriminant validity, and construct validity) of the Persian version of FAAM to be used as an outcome measure in patients with a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including lateral ankle sprain, fracture, plantar fasciitis and other diagnoses. Arthritis & RheumatismPhysical activity for osteoarthritis management: A randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating hydrotherapy or Tai Chi classes. Two or more than two standard errors were used as the significance level for comparing each item-subscale correlation with its hypothesized subscale and competing subscale.

Defining the minimum level of detectable change for the Roland-Morris questionnaire.
It must be noted that although the generally accepted Cronbach's alpha level of 0. ADL and SPORTS subscales had mean (SD) score of 68. With an interval of 2–6 days, 60 patients filled out the FAAM in the retest session.
