To determine the translation and validation of questionnaire FADI into Urdu.METHODS:It was a cross cultural adaptation study. Data of 130 patients of age 16 to 50 year, was taken from hospital, general population or the people who are visiting orthopedic surgeon in the duration of 6 months. Guidelines of Gullimen F have been followed by researcher for this study. RESULTS:The results remained in the favor of Urdu translation. Value of the cronbach alpha coefficient (0.96-0.97) showed the excellent internal consistency. Composite reliability (CR) i.e 0.964 indicates excellent validity. Average variance extracts (AVE) (0.532) which indicates that all the items are having acceptable convergent validity. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) value (0.966) indicates the excellent consistency. P value of FADI index 1.000 and P value of Urdu score .059 showed that there is non-significant difference of mean Urdu score with English score. Kappa statistics of all the items are mentioned in statistical results.CONCLUSION:This study concluded that The FOOT & ANKLE DISABILITY INDEX (FADI) QUESTIONNAIRE converted in Urdu have excellent internal consistency, high reliability of the items, excellent validity and acceptable convergent validity.
