Abstract

BACKGROUND

The Foot Posture Index (FPI) has been advocated as a simple and convenient tool to assess static foot posture in a clinical setting. Although published studies have indicated that the FPI has good intrarater reliability and moderate interrater reliability, these studies were conducted on a previous version of the tool that used eight criteria to score a patient's foot posture. The revised tool has only six criteria (FPI-6). The purpose, therefore, of this study was to investigate the intrarater and interrater reliability of the revised version of the FPI.

METHODS

Three different raters used the FPI-6 to twice evaluate 92 feet from 46 individuals.

RESULTS

Intrarater reliability was high but interrater reliability was only moderate. In addition, using the raw score generated by the FPI-6 to classify feet into one of five categories did not improve agreement between raters.

CONCLUSIONS

The FPI-6 should be used with extreme caution and may actually have limited value, especially from a research perspective.

摘要

背景

足姿势指数（FPI）被推崇为在临床环境中评估静态足部姿势的一种简单便捷的工具。尽管已发表的研究表明FPI具有良好的同一评估者可靠性和中等的不同评估者可靠性，但这些研究是针对该工具的先前版本进行的，该版本使用八个标准对患者的足部姿势进行评分。修订后的工具仅有六个标准（FPI - 6）。因此，本研究的目的是调查修订版FPI的同一评估者和不同评估者可靠性。
