“…In addition, because of the broad characteristics of SEFIP-dance, we were able to change and adjust the translated and adapted version of SEFIP-dance for use among athletes and exercise practitioners (SEFIP-sport). There are several specific questionnaires in the scientific literature that address complaints relating to certain parts of the body, such as the knee, 19 hip, 20 ankle and foot, 21 shoulder, 22 hand and wrist, 17 cervical spine 23,24 and lumbar spine. 4 However, to assess the presence of musculoskeletal pain or discomfort throughout the body, the NMQ remains the tool most commonly used in research and clinical practice.…”

INTRODUCTION Cross-cultural adaptations of questionnaires in developing countries, such as Brazil, have fostered a major debate involving the fields of economics, health, politics and culture. 1 Today, with the development and dissemination of the Guidelines for the Process of Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Self-Report Measures 2 and of the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN), 3 standardization of cross-cultural adaptation relating to culture, language and country is providing positive outcomes within scientific and clinical contexts. Within healthcare sciences, especially in the field of prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, it is common to use questionnaires to measure self-reported outcomes, mainly in relation to pain and functional disability. 4-6 Among the questionnaires for screening of musculoskeletal injuries, in addition to instruments that were created by researchers for specific evaluations, 7,8 the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) stands out through its widespread use for locating musculoskeletal pain in diverse populations. 9-12 However, the NMQ does not have a severity score, and it is not possible to use it to make inferences about functional disability. Therefore, as a way to fill this gap, the Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP) questionnaire was developed and published in 1999. This is an instrument created based

“…Van Bergen et al stated that the minimal detectable changes for each FAOS subscore were 17.1-20.8 at the individual level and 2.0-2.4 at the group level in the validation of the German version of the FAOS [9]. In a recent review, the FAOS was shown to be a reliable tool for the re-evaluation of ankle injuries and the assessment of recovery [13]. Considering these data, it is possible to compare our FAOS scores with results from other studies.…”

Background: Open and closed fractures can be associated with posttraumatic or postoperative soft tissue defects caused by initial trauma, operative procedures, or infections. This study evaluated the postoperative outcomes in patients with open or closed lower leg fractures, related soft tissue defects, and subsequent flap coverage.Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study in a level 1 trauma center. We analyzed the patients treated from January 2012 through December 2017 and recorded demographics, treatment, and outcome data. The outcome data were measured via patient-reported Foot and Ankle Outcomes Scores (FAOS) and EQ-5D-5L scores.Results: We included 22 patients with complicated fractures (11 open and 11 closed) and subsequent soft tissue defects and flap coverages. The mean follow-up time was 41.2 months. Twenty-one patients developed infections, and necrosis at the site of surgery manifested in all closed fractures. Therefore, all patients needed soft tissue reconstructions. Preoperatively, 16 patients underwent arterial examinations via angiography and six underwent ultrasound examinations of the venous system. Ten patients had complications involving the flaps due to ischemia and consequent necrosis. The mean EQ-5D index was 0.62 ± 0.27, and EQ-5D VAS score was 57.7 ± 20.2. The mean FAOS was 60.7 ± 22.2; in particular, quality of life was 32.3 ± 28.8. The rate of returning to work in our patient group was 37.5% after one year.Conclusions: Distal tibial fractures often require revisions and soft tissue reconstruction. The evaluated patient population had poor outcomes in terms of function, quality of life, and return to work. Furthermore, patients suffering from flap ischemia have worse outcomes than those without flap ischemia.

“…The multiple regression model was tested for multicollinearity. If multicollinearity was present, we retained in the model the variable with the higher b value and that has been more commonly used in research of individuals with ankle problems (15). Statistical signi cance was set at p<0.05.…”

Background: Chronic ankle conditions affect approximately 20% of Australian adults. Although there is a plethora of research on chronic hip and knee conditions, there is limited understanding of the impact of ankle problems. Thus, the significance of chronic ankle conditions is not clear. The aim of this study was to compare self-reported function, disability, instability, physical activity and quality of life (QoL) between adults with and without ankle symptoms. A secondary aim was to explore factors associated with QoL.Method: Individuals with symptoms of ankle pain and stiffness (symptomatic individuals) and asymptomatic controls with no ankle pain or stiffness (asymptomatic individuals) completed a cross-sectional online survey. The survey included the Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Assessment of QoL (AQoL-6D), and questions about ankle injury history. Results: A total of 394 individuals (270 symptomatic and 124 asymptomatic) with mean age of 48.8 (standard deviation (SD): 12.1) years and body mass index of 28.7 (7.7) kgm-2 completed the survey. Standardized mean differences (SMD) were large to very large (1.45 to 3.20) for greater disability (AOS) and instability (CAIT), and poorer function (FAAM) in symptomatic compared to asymptomatic individuals. Individuals with ankle symptoms had higher body mass index and lower QoL (medium effect: SMD >1). There were no differences in self-report physical activity between groups. Lower activities of daily living (ADL) function (FAAM-ADL) best explained QoL in a multiple regression model (R2=0.66, p, 0.001). Conclusion: Individuals with ankle symptoms reported ankle instability, greater disability, compromised function and worse QoL compared to asymptomatic individuals. There was a strong relationship between ankle function and QoL. Ankle-specific ability during ADL best explained the reduced QoL in individuals with ankle symptoms. Clinicians and researchers should consider ankle function as an antecedent to poorer QoL in patients who have ankle symptoms.
