“…Therefore, the assumption of the 2-subscale structure was dismissed, and a 3-factor model was suggested. Those factors detected in the factor analysis were referred to using the following dimensions: (1) ADL (with the items number 1-12 and 16-18), (2) heavy performance and sports (items number [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29], and (3) actual walking ability (items number [13][14][15]. The number of identified factors is not, however, consistent with the original, Dutch, French, Japanese, or Persian versions, that identified only 1 factor for the ADL subscale (2,5,7,8,10).…”

Ankle sprains are common injuries in healthy, active adults, especially those engaging in athletics or high-intensity training. Research assessing the effects and sequelae of sustained index ankle sprains demonstrates a high risk of subsequent injuries, leading to chronic ankle instability. Numerous studies have isolated risk factors and mitigation techniques, altering the progression of instability and decreased performance associated with ankle injuries. Enrollment in adequate early rehabilitation programs focused on the restoration of joint biomechanics and sensorineural control is essential in minimizing instability progression. The biomechanics, evaluation, special testing, and progressive spectrum of nonsurgical and surgically invasive treatment options are discussed.Disclosure: The Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest forms are provided with the online version of the article (http://links.lww.com/JBJSJOPA/A162).

“…An ideal and effective classification system must be comprehensive, simple, reliable, reproducible, and applicable in clinical treatment and prognosis, and communicable for peer review and spreading. Some studies also evaluated the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the AOFAS: in terms of test-retest reliability, the Cronbach's α ranged from 0.439 to 0.753; in terms of internal reliability, the Cronbach's α ranged 0.511 to 0.693 [27][28][29][30][31][32] . Compared with the previous scale, the Longhua scoring system demonstrates higher acceptance and reproducibility among PF patients, and therefore could be applied widely.…”

Objectives: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of heel pain. Though PF is self-limited, it can develop into chronic pain and thus treatment is needed. Early and accurate prognostic assessment of patients with PF is critically important for selecting the optimal treatment pathway. Nevertheless, there is no scoring system to determine the severity of PF and no prognostic model in choosing between conservative or surgical treatment. The study aimed to develop a novel scoring system to evaluate the severity of plantar fasciitis and predict the prognosis of conservative treatment. Methods: Data of consecutive patients treated from 2014 to 2018 were retrospectively collected. One hundred and eighty patients were eligible for the study. The demographics and clinical characteristics served as independent variables. The least follow-up time was 6 months. A minimal reduction of 60% in the visual analog scale (VAS) score from baseline was considered as minimal clinically important difference (MCID). Those factors significantly associated with achieving MCID in univariate analyses were further analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. A novel scoring system was developed using the best available literature and expert-opinion consensus. Inter-observer reliability and intraobserver reproducibility were evaluated. The appropriate cutoff points for the novel score system were obtained using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: The system score = VAS (0-3 point = 1; 3.1-7 point = 3; 7.1-10 point = 5) + duration of symptoms (<6 months = 1; ≥1 6 months = 2) + ability to walk without pain (>1 h = 1; ≤1 h = 4) + heel spur in X-ray (No = 0; Yes = 2) + high intensity zone (HIZ) in MRI (No = 0; Yes = 2). The total score was divided in four categories of severity: mild (2-4 points), moderate (5-8 points), severe (9-12 points), and critical (13-15 points). Inter-observer agreement with a value of 0.84 was considered as perfect reliability. Intra-observer reproducibility with a value of 0.92 was considered as perfect reproducibility. The optimum cutoff value was 10 points. The sensitivity of predictive factors was 86.
