Since foot posture is one of the main predictors of lower limb musculoskeletal injuries, it is crucial to use appropriate tools to define the foot's posture. The Foot Posture Index is, therefore, a reliable method to measure foot posture and is widely known and used in clinics and research. This study aimed to translate the Foot Posture Index 6 (FPI6) into Italian and to assess its psychometric properties. Translation and cross-cultural adaptation were obtained using a popular guideline. Two examinators assessed 68 subjects, and data were collected to test intra/inter-rater reliability, internal consistency and cross-cultural validity. The Italian version of FPI6 showed excellent inter- and intra-rater reliability (ICC 0.96 and 0.97), and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.9, thus showing excellent internal consistency. The FPI-6 version has proved to be reliable in terms of inter- and intra-rater reliability and can, therefore, be used in clinical practice and scientific research.
由于足部姿势是下肢肌肉骨骼损伤的主要预测指标之一,因此使用合适的工具来定义足部姿势至关重要。因此,足部姿势指数是一种测量足部姿势的可靠方法,在临床和研究中广为人知并被广泛使用。本研究旨在将足部姿势指数6(FPI6)翻译成意大利语,并评估其心理测量特性。使用一种流行的指南进行翻译和跨文化适应。两名检查人员对68名受试者进行了评估,并收集了数据以测试评分者间/评分者内信度、内部一致性和跨文化效度。意大利语版的FPI6显示出出色的评分者间和评分者内信度(ICC分别为0.96和0.97),克朗巴哈α系数为0.9,因此显示出出色的内部一致性。FPI-6版本在评分者间和评分者内信度方面已被证明是可靠的,因此可用于临床实践和科学研究。
