Abstract

Background: The Foot Function Index (FFI) is a reliable and widely used standardized questionnaire that measures the impact of foot pathology on function. With 571 million Hindi-speaking people living globally and an increasing incidence of foot-related pathologies, it is imperative to cross-culturally translate and adapt a Hindi version of the FFI (FFI-Hi). We aimed to translate, cross-cultural adapt, and psychometrically test the FFI-Hi for use in Hindi-speaking individuals with foot conditions.

Methods: The translation of FFI-Hi was performed according to guidelines given by MAPI Research Trust. A total of 223 Hindi-speaking participants afflicted with foot conditions completed the FFI-Hi alongside the Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. The study duration spanned between October 2023 and January 2024. The initial phase was the translation and adaptation of FFI to cultural context. Followed by testing of psychometric properties involving of 133 participants for the test-retest reliability of FFI-Hi after a 7-day interval.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 47.10 (± 8.1) years. The majority of the participants were male (n = 148, 66.4%) and the most common foot condition was plantar fasciopathy (n = 91, 40.8%). The mean score of FF-Hi was 33.7 ± 11.7. The internal consistency of FFI-Hi was good with the Cronbach's alpha (α) value of 0.891 and excellent reproducibility with the intra-class correlation of 0.90. The 95% minimal detectable change (MCD) and the standard error of measurement of the FFI-Hi was 22.02 and 7.94 respectively. Convergent validity between FFI-Hi subscales and SF-36 domains was moderate. Factor analysis corroborated the multidimensional nature of the FFI-Hi.

Conclusion: The FFI-Hindi version was successfully cross-culturally adapted, translated and demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties to be used in clinical practice and research. Further, the context-specific Hindi language version of FFI will enhance the utility of FFI in foot function evaluation and remove language barrier in patients reporting disability and activity limitation related to foot conditions.

印地语版足部功能指数的跨文化适应与验证。

背景：足功能指数（FFI）是一种可靠且广泛使用的标准化问卷，用于衡量足部病理对功能的影响。全球有5.71亿印地语使用者，与足部相关的疾病发病率不断上升，因此有必要跨文化翻译和改编一部印地语版的FFI （FFI- hi）。我们的目的是翻译、跨文化适应和心理测量学测试FFI-Hi在印地语患者中使用。方法：FFI-Hi的翻译按照MAPI Research Trust给出的指南进行。共有223名患有足部疾病的印地语参与者完成了FFI-Hi和SF-36简短表格问卷。研究时间为2023年10月至2024年1月。最初的阶段是FFI对文化语境的翻译和适应。随后对133名被试进行了心理测量特性测试，在7天后对FFI-Hi进行了重测信度测试。结果：参与者平均年龄为47.10（±8.1）岁。大多数参与者为男性（n = 148, 66.4%），最常见的足部疾病是足底筋膜病（n = 91, 40.8%）。FF-Hi平均评分为33.7±11.7分。FFI-Hi内部一致性好，Cronbach's α (α)值为0.891，重复性好，类内相关系数为0.90。FFI-Hi测定的95%最小可检出变化（MCD）和标准误差分别为22.02和7.94。FFI-Hi量表与SF-36域的收敛效度为中等。因子分析证实了FFI-Hi的多维性。结论：FFI-Hindi版本成功地进行了跨文化改编和翻译，并显示出可接受的心理测量特性，可用于临床实践和研究。此外，上下文特定的印地语版FFI将增强FFI在足功能评估中的效用，并消除报告与足部疾病相关的残疾和活动限制的患者的语言障碍。注册：印度临床试验注册中心（CTRI/2023/07/055734）。

期刊介绍： Chiropractic & Manual Therapies publishes manuscripts on all aspects of evidence-based information that is clinically relevant to chiropractors, manual therapists and related health care professionals. Chiropractic & Manual Therapies is an open access journal that aims to provide chiropractors, manual therapists and related health professionals with clinically relevant, evidence-based information. Chiropractic and other manual therapies share a relatively broad diagnostic practice and treatment scope, emphasizing the structure and function of the body''s musculoskeletal framework (especially the spine). The practices of chiropractic and manual therapies are closely associated with treatments including manipulation, which is a key intervention. The range of services provided can also include massage, mobilisation, physical therapies, dry needling, lifestyle and dietary counselling, plus a variety of other associated therapeutic and rehabilitation approaches. Chiropractic & Manual Therapies continues to serve as a critical resource in this field, and as an open access publication, is more readily available to practitioners, researchers and clinicians worldwide.
