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)

Abstract

The foot is one of the most complex, yet understudied musculoskeletal systems in the body. However, with the growing interest in foot health in rheumatology and because of its pivotal role in gait and posture, researchers and clinicians have developed a number of surveys and assessments for measuring foot health and its impact on quality of life. This systematic review will focus on questionnaires and surveys for patient/participant perception of foot health and its impact on quality of life, commonly referred to as patient-reported outcome measures. The system we employed to determine the patient-reported outcome measures included in this review is provided as a flow chart (Figure 1).
