摘要: Background: There currently is no widely used, validated, self-administered instrument for measuring musculoskeletal functional status in individuals with nonsystemic foot disorders. The purpose of this paper was to report on the assessment reliability one these instruments. We wanted determine if Foot Function Index (FFI), which has been validated rheumatoid patients without fixed deformity or prior surgery, would be reliable a population complaints systemic disease. Methods: Patients were recruited from five orthopaedic offices where physicians members American Orthopaedic and Ankle Society. asked complete FFI at time their initial office visit then givena second copy return by mail 1 week after visit. Results: Ninety-six completed first questionnaire, 54 second. Reliability acceptable an average...
