“…This may be due to injury to the muscle or tendon itself or disruption in the muscle's innervation from the DPN. 3 TA tendon ruptures occur in the setting of a laceration or profound eccentric loading or may also result from a chronic tendinopathic condition leading to degenerative failure. Management of TA tendon ruptures is beyond the scope of this review; however, diagnosis of this condition may be confirmed with clinical findings and imaging.…”

Footdrop is a common musculoskeletal condition defined by weakness in ankle joint dorsiflexion. Although the etiology varies, footdrop is characterized by specific clinical and gait abnormalities used by the patient to overcome the loss of active ankle dorsiflexion. The condition is often associated with deformity because soft-tissue structures may become contracted if not addressed. Patients may require the use of special braces or need surgical treatment to address the notable level of physical dysfunction. Surgical treatment involving deformity correction to recreate a plantigrade foot along with tendon transfers has been used with notable success to restore a near-normal gait. However, limitations and postoperative dorsiflexion weakness have prompted investigation in nerve transfer as a possible alternative surgical treatment.

“…12 Despite the large number of publications on the surgical technique for correcting foot drop, there is still little content on postoperative evaluation. [13][14][15][16][17] In 2001, Yeap et al published a scale to assess the results after the correction of foot drop through tendon transfer, called the Stanmore System. 18 This scale is split into seven items: pain, need for orthosis, type of footwear used, activity level, muscle strength, degree of movement and foot position.…”

Introduction From a functional point of view, foot drop causes a major impact on gait, due to loss of dorsiflexion. One of the most widely used scales for the postoperative evaluation of tendon transfer for foot drop is the Stanmore System. This study aimed to carry out the translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Stanmore System, for use in Brazil. Methodology The process of translating and adapting the questionnaire followed published guidelines. [1][2][3] The Content Validity Index (CVI) calculation was performed by the analysis of an expert committee, composed of five professionals. Validation was made through the analysis of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), temporal stability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient -ICC), convergent, and discriminant validity. ResultsThe total CVI of the scale was 0.91. The internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's alpha (𝛼 = 0.595) and temporal stability using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient per item, ranging from 0.89 to 0.99 (p-value < 0.001), and the total of the scale (ICC = 0.98). Convergent (𝜌 = 0.863) and discriminant (𝜌 = −0.263) validity were calculated using Spearman's Correlation Coefficient in comparison with the results of the AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) and SALSA (Screening of Activity Limitation and Safety Awareness), respectively.
