The ICC for all subsections of MOXFQ and FFI was above 0.7.The Pearson’s correlation coefficient for all subsections of FFI and MOXFQ was significant (P<0.01).Conclusion: The Persian version of FFI is valid and reproducible in Persian speaking population.Level of evidence: IV}, keywords = {Foot function index,Persian version,Validation,Foot and ankle}, url = {https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_12877.html}, eprint = {https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_12877_6c98bbb0c5a71bfe8bdf1192c225d97b.pdf} }
