Ankle Sprains
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is actually the translation, cultural adaptation and psychometric validation in the Italian Version of the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) English Version for use in outpatient clinics in non-English subjects to objectify chronic ankle instability.
Detailed description
The hypothesis is to translate and culturally adapt the scale successfully and demonstrate a good factorial structure and psychometric properties, replicating the results of the original English version of the questionnaire
Interventions
Administration of Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) and the following assessment scales: Self-reported question assess the ankle instability as functional/stable or not functional/unstable, Foot and Ankle ability Measure Italian Version - Activity Daily Living (FAAM-I/ADL), Short-form 36-item Health Survey Italian Version (SF-36), Numeric Rate Scale pain (NRS Pain), Visual Analogic Scale Ankle Instability (VAS ankle instability). After a week the participants will fill in the following questionnaires: Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI), Numeric Rate Scale pain (NRS Pain), Visual Analogic Scale Ankle Instability (Vas ankle instability) with the additional question to measure the change in complaints.
