Foot Function Index
Time Frame: 6 months
Foot Function Index of 23 items, and evaluates the pain, disability and activity limitation. The each of the pain and insufficiency subscales consist of 9 items and the activity limitation subscale includes 5 items. Patients score their foot pain level with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in various situations during the last 1 week. To calculate the scores of the index, the score of each item are summed, then divided by possible the maximum score can be obtained from the FFI. Higher scores indicate greater pain, disability and activity limitation level.
Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index
Time Frame: 6 months
