About this study

Official title: Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Reliability of Urdu Version of The Foot and Ankle Ability Measures (FAAM-U)

This study is designed to translate and validate the FAAM questionnaire to the Urdu language, to interpret its psychometric properties, and to determine the reliability of scores obtained from the population of Pakistan. The translated version of the gold standard tool will be used by the local population as well as Urdu-speaking immigrants across the globe to better understand and report the severity of their symptoms. Hence, to improve quality of life across cultures, there is a need of standard outcome measures in Urdu language.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FAAMOther

    The FAAM is made out of two subscales including ADL and Sports subscales that have a complete score of 84 and 32, individually

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Single GroupA total of 175 patients with a range of foot or ankle problems were included for the review. Informed consent was taken from the review members in written form. They all finished the Urdu version of FAAM in the test session. With a time, span of 3 days after the primary recording, a total of the 175 patients whose conditions were relied upon to stay stable were approached to complete the forms again in the retest meeting; no treatment was given during this time-frame. The FAAM is made out of two subscales including ADL and Sports subscales that have a complete score of 84 and 32, individually. Also, toward the finish of the structure, patients were approached to rate the current degree of function with a 4-point Likert scale. Patients evaluated everything as indicated by the trouble they go over with each undertaking on account of their foot or ankle condition. After assortment, information was saved in a safe spot to keep away from any dispositions.
