Brief Summary

There have previously been no validated a specific foot and ankle patient-reported outcome measures in Turkish. The Visual Analogue Scale Foot and Ankle (VAS-FA) will translated and adapted into Turkish language. Thereafter, 200 patients who had foot and ankle disorders or surgery will complete VAS-FA questionnaire set on two separate occasions. Analyses included testing of floor-ceiling effect, internal consistency, reproducibility, and validity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• VAS-FA Turkish version

  The VAS-FA contains 20 questions for the patient with five possible answers. For each question a VAS-value from 0 to 100 points is possible. The total value for the entire score (all 20 questions answered) is therefore 0-2000 points. This total value is then divided by 20, resulting in a possible total score ranging from 0 to 100 points.

  1 week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Foot Function Index (FFI)

  1 week

• Short Form-36 (SF-36)

  1 week
