Acute lateral ankle sprains are common amongst athletes, and screening is essential in preventing these long-term sequelae. Self-reported questionnaires, such as the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), may help identify individuals with chronic ankle instability. To date, a Cantonese-Chinese version of the CAIT does not exist. A cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the CAIT were carried out: 46 individuals who were native in Cantonese completed the Cantonese-Chinese version of the CAIT and Chinese Foot and Ankle Outcome Score. For the test-retest analysis, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.874. Internal consistency showed a Cronbach's ɑ value of 0.726. Construct validity against the FAOS was fair but statistically significant with a Spearman's correlation coefficient of 0.353, 0.460, 0.303, 0.369 and 0.493 for the categories of symptoms, pain, daily function, sports function, and quality of life, respectively. A cutoff score of 20.5 was determined to differentiate healthy individuals from those with chronic ankle instability for this study population. The original English CAIT was successfully translated, cross-culturally adapted and validated into Cantonese-Chinese.
急性外踝扭伤在运动员中很常见，筛查对于预防这些长期后遗症至关重要。自我报告问卷，如坎伯兰踝关节不稳定工具（CAIT），可能有助于识别慢性踝关节不稳定的个体。迄今为止，CAIT 的粤语中文版本尚不存在。对 CAIT 进行了跨文化适应性和验证：46 名以粤语为母语的个体完成了 CAIT 和中文足部和踝关节结局评分的粤语中文版本。对于测试-重测分析，组内相关系数为 0.874。内部一致性显示 Cronbach's α 值为 0.726。与 FAOS 的结构有效性是公平的，但具有统计学意义，症状、疼痛、日常功能、运动功能和生活质量的类别分别具有 Spearman 相关系数为 0.353、0.460、0.303、0.369 和 0.493。对于本研究人群，确定了 20.5 的截断分数来区分健康个体和慢性踝关节不稳定个体。原始的英文 CAIT 已成功翻译成粤语中文，并进行了跨文化适应性和验证。
