Evidence for reliability, validity and responsiveness of Turkish Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). 37) compared with those who rated as abnormal or severely abnormal (65. The FAAM also asks the patient to note their current level of function as "normal", "nearly normal", "abnormal", and "severely abnormal". Functional Mobility.

The appropriate selection of instruments for outcome measurement depends on many factors including the type and psychometric properties of instrument and the characteristics of subjects among whom the instrument is intended to be used. All correlations were statistically significant (P < 0. 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.

The values of internal consistency obtained in this study must be interpreted with caution because it has been shown that the same Cronbach's alpha can be achieved in data sets with different structures. 05 with the exception of correlation between SF-36 MH and FAAM SPORTS subscales. Evidence of content validity, construct validity, reliability and responsiveness has been provided for the FAAM to be used in a population with general orthopedic conditions, including pain, sprain and strain, fractures, plantar fasciitis, bunion and Achilles rupture.

Evidence of validity for the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM).
In conjunction with the FAAM to be able to measure quality of life in people with foot and ankle disorders. Creating such a universal self-report measure would improve researchers' and clinicians' ability to compare effectiveness of relevant treatments as well as provide a tool with which to gather information about the pathology and impairments caused by lower extremity disorders. 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. 90) for ADL and SPORTS subscales raises the possibility that there may be some redundancy among items within the FAAM subscales. Journal of athletic trainingPredicting Sagittal Plane Landing Kinematics with Lower Extremity Muscular Power Tests. 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.
