功能性踝关节不稳(FAI)是指足部“让路”的倾向。功能性踝关节不稳定性鉴定问卷(IdFAI)是一种新开发的问卷，用于检测个体是否符合纳入FAI人群的最低标准。然而，问卷的可靠性只在有限的年龄组中进行了研究。这项调查的目的是检查IdFAI在不同年龄段成年人中的可靠性。20-60岁年龄组的120名参与者，每个年龄组30人，被要求完成两次IdFAI。用组内相关系数(ICC2，1)评价重测信度。研究表明，IdFAI在不同年龄段的研究中具有极好的重测信度。20~30岁、30~40岁、40~50岁、50~60岁的ICC2、1分别为0.978、0.975、0.961、0.922。IdFAI可以准确地预测一个人是否满足成年人不同年龄段的FAI的最低标准。因此，该问卷可以应用于临床和研究机构的不同年龄段。
Functional ankle instability (FAI) is the tendency of the foot to ‘give way’. Identification of Functional Ankle Instability questionnaire (IdFAI) is a newly developed questionnaire to detect whether individuals meet the minimum criteria necessary for inclusion in an FAI population. However, the reliability of the questionnaire was studied only in a restricted age group. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the reliability of IdFAI across different age groups in adults. One hundred and twenty participants in the age group of 20-60 years consisting of 30 individuals in each age group were asked to complete the IdFAI on two occasions. Test-retest reliability was evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1). The study revealed that IdFAI has excellent test-retest reliability when studied across different age groups. The ICC2,1 in the age groups 20-30 years, 30-40 years, 40-50 years and 50-60 years was 0.978, 0.975, 0.961 and 0.922, respectively with Cronbach's alpha >0.9 in all the age groups. The IdFAI can accurately predict if an individual meets the minimum criterion for FAI across different age groups in adults. Thus, the questionnaire can be applied over different age groups in clinical and research set-ups.
