Clinical trial NCT05997797: Translation and Reliability of FAAM-U
Official title: Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Reliability of Urdu Version of The Foot and Ankle Ability Measures (FAAM-U)
Study type: OBSERVATIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Conditions: Foot Injuries
Ankle Injuries
Lead sponsor: University of Lahore
Sponsor class: OTHER
First posted: 2023-08-18
Enrollment: 175
Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 16
Maximum age (years): 44
Standard ages: CHILD
ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Observational model: OTHER
Time perspective: PROSPECTIVE
Sampling method: NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: With a time, span of 3 days after the primary recording, a total of the 175 patients whose conditions were relied upon to stay stable were approached to complete the forms again in the retest meeting; no treatment was given during this time-frame.

Brief summary: This study is designed to translate and validate the FAAM questionnaire to the Urdu language, to interpret its psychometric properties, and to determine the reliability of scores obtained from the population of Pakistan. The translated version of the gold standard tool will be used by the local population as well as Urdu-speaking immigrants across the globe to better understand and report the severity of their symptoms. Hence, to improve quality of life across cultures, there is a need of standard outcome measures in Urdu language.
