Brief Summary

Functional instability should be considered as a potential cause of residual ankle impairment and instability. Even if neuromuscular anomalies are detected, the precise cause of injury and the most efficient prevention strategies remain uncertain. The use of standardized and validated research instruments is strongly advocated. This is due in part to the idea that it allows for international and cross-national comparison of results. Another assumption is that utilizing validated tools increases confidence that they are measuring what they are intended to measure. However, a previously validated tool does not guarantee its applicability in a new period, culture, or setting. The rationale of study is to provide a valid and reliable tool translated into native language of Urdu speaking populations so that self-evaluation of ankle instability can be assessed and re-assessed over the time. The questionnaire is translated into various languages including; French, Japanese, Brazilian, Persian, Thai, Malay, Greek, Chinese, Korean, Turkish and Spanish; whereas, Pakistani Urdu version has not yet studied. The present study fills this literature gap and serves a large proportion of Urdu community around the globe; specially, Pakistan. By measuring the psychometric properties of this scale in Urdu version, quantitatively strengthens up the evidence and patients themselves can report their exact level of disorder by answering a set of questions in their own language.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Identification of functional ankle instability

  Functional ankle instability (FAI) is the tendency of the foot to 'give way'. Identification of Functional Ankle Instability questionnaire (IdFAI) is a newly developed questionnaire to detect whether individuals meet the minimum criteria necessary for inclusion in an FAI population. IdFAI consists of 3 factors or domains: First factor focuses on the history of ankle sprain, second factor focuses on the initial ankle sprain, and the third factor focuses on the instability during ADL. Out of total 36 score, a score of 10 or lower indicates that the participant is unlikely to have FAI, whereas a total score of 11 or higher indicates that a participant is likely to have FAI.

• Cumberland ankle instability tool

  The Cumberland ankle instability tool (CAIT) is a 9-item scale measuring the severity of functional ankle instability. The total score of CAIT ranges from 0 to 30. Items focus on the degree of difficulty in performing different physical activities per ankle. The CAIT has the ability to discriminate between stable and unstable ankles and measures the severity of experienced functional instability, with a cut-off value of 27.5 points

• Ankle Instability Instrument (AII)

  The Ankle Instability Instrument (AII) was designed specifically to determine ankle instability. It captures the severity of the initial injury, history of ankle instability, and instability during activities of daily living (ADLs). It consists of 12 items related to the individual's perception of ankle instability and its impact on their daily life. Each item is scored on a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores indicating less perceived instability and better ankle function.
