Reporting and Utilization of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures in the Evaluation of Foot Orthoses Treatment: A Systematic Review
Purpose: Currently, there is no patient‐reported outcome measure (PROM) specifically for evaluating foot orthoses treatments.This led us to ask the following question: What is the quality of the validated foot and ankle PROMs used to evaluate footorthosis interventions? To do so, we analyzed the psy...

| Sumario: | Purpose: Currently, there is no patient‐reported outcome measure (PROM) specifically for evaluating foot orthoses treatments.This led us to ask the following question: What is the quality of the validated foot and ankle PROMs used to evaluate footorthosis interventions? To do so, we analyzed the psychometric properties of these PROMs and identified the most widely usedand those with the best measurement properties.Methods: Two literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Themethodological quality of the articles was assessed using the updated COSMIN checklist. Psychometric evidence for theproperties investigated in the articles was assessed using the updated COSMIN criteria for good psychometric properties.Ratings of methodological quality and psychometric evidence were synthesized using the method of Schellingerhout et al.(2012).Results: A total of 205 articles were included, identifying 11 validated PROMs for foot and ankle used in the evaluation of footorthoses. The Foot Function Index (FFI) and the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ) were the most commonly used,whereas the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment‐Achilles tendon (VISA‐A) questionnaire demonstrated the best mea-surement properties.Conclusion: The VISA‐A, the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and the Revised Foot Function Index (FFI‐R) appear tobe useful PROMs for evaluating foot orthoses treatments; however, more evidence is needed to make more robust and reliablestatements. |
