Brief Summary

Today, one of the frequently used scales in the evaluation of foot problems is the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association Scale. AOFAS has been prepared with the American society in mind and its original version is in English. This limits the application of AOFAS to non-English speaking patients. The aim of study is to investigate the cross-cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the AOFAS Midfoot Scale.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association Midfoot Scale

  The validity and reliability scale prepared by the American Orthopedic Foot-Ankle Association consists of three sub-dimensions. Evaluations in pain, function, smoothness sections and total scores range from 0 to 100 points. High scores indicate severe deformity and low scores indicate milder deformity.

  through study completion, an average of 6 months

• Foot and Ankle Usability Measure

  FAAM is a 29-item questionnaire including 21-item activities of daily living and 8-item sports subscales. The maximum score of the 5-point Likert-type scale is 84 for activities of daily living and 32 points for the sports subscale. The total score varies between 0-100. A higher score corresponds to a higher level of function for both subscales. The validity and reliability study of the scale was carried out.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• S-12 Quality of Life Scale

  through study completion, an average of 6 months

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

Interventions

American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Association Midfoot Scale, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure/FAAM, SF-12 Quality of Life Scale, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

All participants will receive two assessments, 7 days apart. After the demographic data of the patients are recorded with the form prepared by us, they will be evaluated with the AOFAS Midfoot Scale, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure/FAAM, SF-12 Quality of Life Scale, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
