Objective: To investigate the internal construct validity of a clinician-assessed measure of foot position, the Foot Posture Index (FPI), versions FPI-8 and FPI-6.Design: Rasch analysis of baseline FPI scores from studies conducted during the development of the instrument.Setting: A community-based and a hospital-based study, conducted at 2 institutions.Participants: Measures were obtained from 143 participants (98 men, 45 women; age range, 8-65y).Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Rasch analysis was undertaken using RUMM2020 software in order to evaluate the following properties of the FPI: unidimensionality of each item included in the FPI, the differential item functioning (DIF) of each item, and item and person separation indices.Results: In the developmental draft of the instrument, the 8-item FPI-8 showed some misfit to the Rasch model (X-16(2) test=27.63, P=.03), indicating lack of unidimensionality. Two items were identified as problematic in the Rasch modeling: Achilles' tendon insertion (Helbing's sign), which showed illogical response ordering and "congruence of the lateral border of the foot," which showed misfit, indicating that this item may be measuring a different construct (X-2(2) test= 15.35, P
