: This study aimed to translate the Foot Function Index Revised Short Form (FFI RSF-Sp) into Spanish, perform a transcultural adaptation, and validate the resulting questionnaire on foot and ankle function. The revised instrument, derived from the original version of the FFI, incorporates additional subscales on ankle stiffness and overall quality of life that help produce a more comprehensive assessment and overcome some limitations. : The final sample consisted of 306 participants from Malaga and Seville (Spain), all aged over 18 years and native Spanish speakers. These participants also completed the FAAM-Sp and VASFA-Sp validated questionnaires. The measurement properties of FFI RSF-Sp were evaluated in accordance with the Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Status Measurements Instruments (COSMIN) recommendations. : Factor analysis confirmed the existence of a five-factor structure, explaining 67.6% of the total variance, with an RMSEA of 0.0785 and a Tucker-Lewis index of 0.874. Internal consistency was excellent, with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.963 and subscale values ranging from 0.776 to 0.886. Furthermore, moderate to strong correlations were obtained with the VASFA-Sp (r = -0.651) and FAAM ADL (r = -0.737, < 0.001), and the obtained area under the curve value was 0.806 ( < 0.001), confirming the discriminatory capacity of the instrument. : The FFI RSF-Sp is a valid, reliable, and sensitive instrument for assessing foot and ankle function in a Spanish-speaking population. The incorporation of additional dimensions improves the understanding of dysfunction, and the robust psychometric indicators of this questionnaire make it appropriate for use in clinical and research settings, facilitating the detection of functional alterations and enhancing treatment follow up.
本研究旨在将修订后的足部功能指数简表(FFI RSF-Sp)翻译成西班牙语,进行跨文化调适,并验证所得的足踝功能问卷。修订后的工具源自FFI的原始版本,纳入了有关踝关节僵硬和总体生活质量的附加子量表,有助于进行更全面的评估并克服一些局限性。
最终样本包括来自西班牙马拉加和塞维利亚的306名参与者,均为18岁以上的西班牙语母语者。这些参与者还完成了经过验证的FAAM-Sp和VASFA-Sp问卷。根据基于共识的健康状况测量工具选择标准(COSMIN)建议,对FFI RSF-Sp的测量特性进行了评估。
因子分析证实存在五因素结构,解释了总方差的67.6%,RMSEA为0.0785,塔克-刘易斯指数为0.874。内部一致性极佳,总体克朗巴哈系数为0.963,子量表值范围为0.776至0.886。此外,与VASFA-Sp(r = -0.651)和FAAM ADL(r = -0.737,P < 0.001)获得了中度至强相关性,所得曲线下面积值为0.806(P < 0.001),证实了该工具的区分能力。
FFI RSF-Sp是一种有效、可靠且敏感的工具,用于评估西班牙语人群的足踝功能。纳入附加维度可改善对功能障碍的理解,该问卷强大的心理测量指标使其适用于临床和研究环境,有助于检测功能改变并加强治疗随访。
