An easy-to-administer, function-based questionnaire to assess patients with various foot problems was required for a Greek-speaking population. This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Quick Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (Quick-FAAM) into Greek and evaluate its reliability and validity.
Cross-sectional study.
Established international guidelines for the cross-cultural adaptation of questionnaires were followed. The face and content validity of the Greek version of the Quick-FAAM (Quick-FAAM-GR), as well as the internal consistency and test-retest reliability upon repeated administration after 5 days, were examined. In addition, the construct validity of the scale was examined via exploratory factor analysis as well as by testing for associations with the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index, the 12-item Short-Form Survey (version 2), and a functional balance assessment test-the Y-Balance Test.
Sixty participants (18 women) with self-reported chronic ankle instability symptoms, with a median (interquartile range) age of 27 (7.7) years, participated in the study. Half of the participants were included in the test-retest reliability study. The Quick-FAAM-GR demonstrated face and content validity. Excellent internal consistency (Cronbach α = .961) and intrarater test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient ICC[2,1] = .93) were demonstrated, with a comparable error margin to the original version (standard error of the measurement = 2.1, 95% minimum detectable change = 5.9). Associations of the Quick-FAAM-GR scores to other questionnaires ranged from weak to strong (Spearman rho), all being statistically significant (Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index from -.26, P = .04, to -.67, P < .001, and 12-item Short-Form Survey, version 2, between .41 and .72, P < .001), and to the Y-Balance Test between lower-limb differences (-.35 to -.58, P < .001). The exploratory factor analysis confirmed the single-factor structure of this scale. No floor/ceiling effects were observed.
The Greek Quick-FAAM has proven to be a valid and reliable tool for evaluating chronic ankle instability and can be used for clinical and research purposes in Greek-speaking individuals.
需要为讲希腊语的人群开发一种易于管理的、基于功能的问卷，以评估各种足部问题的患者。本研究旨在将快速足部和踝关节能力测量（Quick-FAAM）翻译成希腊语，并评估其信度和效度。
横断面研究。
遵循问卷跨文化适应的既定国际准则。检查希腊版快速足部和踝关节能力测量（Quick-FAAM-GR）的表面和内容效度，以及 5 天后重复测量时的内部一致性和重测信度。此外，通过探索性因子分析以及与曼彻斯特足部疼痛和残疾指数、12 项简短形式调查（第 2 版）和功能性平衡评估测试-Y 平衡测试的关联来检验量表的结构效度。
60 名（18 名女性）有慢性踝关节不稳定症状的参与者参加了这项研究，他们的年龄中位数（四分位间距）为 27（7.7）岁。一半的参与者参加了重测信度研究。Quick-FAAM-GR 表现出良好的表面和内容效度。显示出极好的内部一致性（Cronbach α =.961）和测试者间重测信度（组内相关系数 ICC[2,1] =.93），与原始版本的误差幅度相当（测量标准误差 = 2.1，95%最小可检测变化 = 5.9）。Quick-FAAM-GR 评分与其他问卷的相关性从弱到强（Spearman rho），所有相关性均具有统计学意义（曼彻斯特足部疼痛和残疾指数从-.26，P =.04 到-.67，P <.001，以及 12 项简短形式调查，第 2 版，介于.41 到.72，P <.001），与 Y 平衡测试之间的下肢差异介于-.35 到-.58，P <.001）。探索性因子分析证实了该量表的单一因素结构。没有发现地板/天花板效应。
希腊版 Quick-FAAM 已被证明是一种评估慢性踝关节不稳定的有效且可靠的工具，可用于希腊语人群的临床和研究目的。
