Development and validation of a Greek language version of the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index

Abstract

Background: The Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI) is a 19 item questionnaire used to assess the severity and impact of foot pain. The aim of this study was to develop a Greeklanguage version of the MFPDI and to assess the instrument's psychometric properties.

Development of a Danish Language Version of the Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index: Reproducibility and Construct Validity Testing

“…As expected, correlation was strongest for the physical subscales and weaker for the mental components. The correlations found are comparable to those found in a similar study by Kaoulla et al [24]. MFPDI-DK and VAS mean scores were moderately correlated ( r = 0.42).…”

“…MFPDI is, furthermore, a generic tool which can be applied in many different clinical and scientific settings in Denmark [19–21]. Additionally, translations into other European languages have been made successfully [6, 22–24], making the tool applicable for trans-national comparisons of results.…”

Measures of foot function, foot health, and foot pain: American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons Lower Limb Outcomes Assessment: Foot and Ankle Module (AAOS‐FAM), Bristol Foot Score (BFS), Revised Foot Function Index (FFI‐R), Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ), Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI), Podiatric Health Questionnaire (PHQ), and Rowan Foot Pain Assessment (ROFPAQ)

“…Original is in English; Greek (40), Italian (41), and Brazilian Portuguese (42) versions have also been validated. The MOXFQ was developed from the MFPDI to assess hallux valgus corrective surgery (36).…”

Measures of Foot Pain, Foot Function, and General Foot Health

“…The MFPDI has been translated and culturally adapted into Greek , Portuguese , Spanish , Danish , Dutch , and Chinese .…”

“…It was developed and validated in people with varying foot health profiles attending rheumatology clinics, consulting with their general practitioner, or responding to a postal population survey . Its psychometric properties have been evaluated subsequently in community‐dwelling adults across the age range , in people consulting with clinical services about foot problems , and in participants in clinical trials .…”
