“…Similarly, the physical, and school and play subscales in the Dutch version exhibited satisfactory internal consistency, with Cronbach's α values > 0.7, but the emotional subscale did not do so in both children (0.60) and parents (0.67) [5]. In the Italian version, as with the Korean version, the school and play and emotional subscales showed Cronbach's α values of ≥0.7 [7].…”

“…However, the school and play, and emotional subscales in both child/ adolescent and parent-proxy version exhibited ceiling effects, consistent with the findings of previous studies. The Italian version exhibited a ceiling effect for the school and play subscale in both child/adolescent and parent-proxy versions, and for the emotional subscale in the child/adolescent version [7]. The Danish version demonstrated similar ceiling effects to the Korean version [6].…”

“…The original English version of the OAFQ has been translated and validated in Dutch, Danish, and Italian [5][6][7]. Appropriate translations and transcultural adaptations of psychometric instruments according to international guidelines are important to maintain semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence to the original version.…”

Background The purpose of this study was to translate and transculturally adapt the original English version of the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire (OAFQ) into a Korean version, and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods A Korean OAFQ for children was developed according to established guidelines. To test validity, 169 consecutive patients with foot and ankle problems and their caregivers each completed the OAFQ. The children also completed a Korean version of the KIDSCREEN-52 health related quality of life questionnaire (KIDSCREEN-52 HRQOL). To validate the Korean version of the OAFQ, reliability (child–parent agreement and internal consistency), feasibility (floor and ceiling effects), and construct validity were evaluated, and factor analysis was performed. Results In terms of reliability, Cronbach’s α values were > 0.7 in all subscales of the OAFQ (0.765 to 0.901). Child–parent agreement was confirmed by high intraclass correlation coefficients for all subscales (0.791 to 0.863). In terms of construct validity, there were moderate correlations between the subscales of the OAFQ and the subscales of the KIDSCREEN-52 HRQOL. Factor analysis revealed a three-component solution for both the child/adolescent and parent-proxy version, by combining the school and play, and footwear items into one subscale. In terms of feasibility, no floor effects were found for all subscales. However, ceiling effects were observed for the school and play, and emotional subscales for child/adolescent and parent-proxy versions. Conclusions The OAFQ was successfully translated and transculturally adapted into the Korean language; the Korean version of the OAFQ represents a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating children’s foot or ankle problems. However, factor analysis suggested the use of a three-subscale questionnaire.

“…The response options to each item are on a 5-point scale rated from never (4), rarely (3), sometimes (2), very often (1) to always (0), where the number in brackets represents the value that should be applied by the scorer to each response. The last item provides information about patient’s satisfaction on the footwear [ 11 – 13 ].…”

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life and satisfaction about the surgical treatment in patients with symptomatic flexible flatfoot. Methods The Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for children (one to fill in before the surgical correction and another 6–12 months after the screw’s removal), the PedsQLTM Healthcare Satisfaction Generic Module and the PedsQLTM General Well-Being Scale were administered to all patients who underwent the anterograde calcaneo-stop procedure for flexible painful flatfoot between January 2012 and December 2015. Results One hundred forty patients were sent the questionnaires and 74 (40 male and 34 female) of them responded. The surgical correction was performed at a medium age of 11,84±1,65 years. When the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for children scores before surgical correction and after the screw removal were compared, the latter scored significantly higher for all domains. Healthcare satisfaction was good in all families. Most of the patients scored medium-high on the PedQLTM General Well-Being both when asked about themselves (mean 86,50±7,44) and in general about their health (76,06±12,32). Conclusion Our results confirmed that flexible painful flatfoot is significantly affecting the quality of life of children and that the anterograde calcaneo-stop procedure is a valuable technique, which improves their quality of life and the family wellbeing.

Introduction The present study aims to analyze the structural and psychometric properties of the questionnaires published in Italian to evaluate the lower limbs. Material and Methods two blinded researcher performed a literature searches on the databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, Dialnet, Cinahl, Embase, and PEDro databases. For the Keywords was using the Boolean operators "OR" and "AND": lower limb, hip, knee, foot and ankle, questionnaire, Italian, psychometric, validity and Validation. In each of the selected articles, the structural characteristics and, secondly, the psychometric characteristics were analysed. Results A great heterogeneity is observed in the number of items that made up each questionnaire, ranging between 4 and 42; most of the questionnaires are completed in less than 10 min, with some exceptions. Half of the selected questionnaires (16/32) presented subcategories. The reliability of the vast majority of the questionnaires was good or excellent. The criterion validity was very heterogeneous among the questionnaires identified. The construct validity was calculated at 4/32, while the sensitivity and the Standard error measurement (SEM) were 8/32, respectively. Conclusion The Italian versions of the questionnaires studied to evaluate the lower limbs show good essential structural and psychometric characteristics, also comparable to versions in other languages.

Abstract: The Italian version of the OAFQ might be a reliable and valid instrument in order to evaluate interventions used to treat children's foot or ankle problem, but needs further study on different clinical settings.
