The present study tested the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the visual analog scale foot and ankle (VAS-FA) among healthy subjects and patients with foot problems. A total of 128 participants, 65 healthy subjects and 63 patients with foot problems, were evaluated. The VAS-FA was translated into Turkish and administered to the 128 subjects on 2 separate occasions with a 5-day interval. The test-retest reliability and internal consistency were assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach's α. The validity was assessed using the correlations with Turkish versions of the Foot Function Index, the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score, and the Short-Form 36-item Health Survey. A statistically significant difference was found between the healthy group and the patient group in the overall score and subscale scores of the VAS-FA (p < .001). The internal consistency of the VAS-FA was very good, and the test-retest reliability was excellent. Adequate to good correlations were found between the overall VAS-FA score and the Foot Function Index, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score, and Short-Form 36-item Health Survey scores in the healthy and patient groups both. The Turkish version of the VAS-FA is sensitive enough to distinguish foot and ankle-specific pathologic conditions from asymptomatic conditions. The Turkish version of the VAS-FA is a reliable and valid method and can be used for foot-related problems.
本研究测试了视觉模拟量表足踝版（VAS-FA）土耳其语版本在健康受试者和有足部问题患者中的信度和效度。共评估了128名参与者，其中65名健康受试者和63名有足部问题的患者。VAS-FA被翻译成土耳其语，并在两个不同的时间点对128名受试者进行施测，间隔5天。使用组内相关系数和克朗巴哈α系数评估重测信度和内部一致性。通过与土耳其语版足部功能指数、足踝结局评分和简短36项健康调查的相关性来评估效度。在VAS-FA的总分和子量表得分方面，健康组和患者组之间存在统计学上的显著差异（p <.001）。VAS-FA的内部一致性非常好，重测信度也极佳。在健康组和患者组中，VAS-FA总分与足部功能指数、足踝结局评分以及简短36项健康调查得分之间均发现了充分至良好的相关性。VAS-FA的土耳其语版本足够敏感，能够区分足踝特定的病理状况和无症状状况。VAS-FA的土耳其语版本是一种可靠且有效的方法，可用于与足部相关的问题。
