Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability questionnaire in Persian speaking participants with a history of ankle sprain.

CONCLUSIONS: The Persian version of IdFAI is a reliable and valid tool to identify patients with functional ankle instability which have a history of ankle sprain. Its original three-factor structure was replicated in this study. Implications for Rehabilitation The Persian version of the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) questionnaire is a reliable and valid instrument in order to identify Iranian patients with functional ankle instability in both clinical practice and research. The Persian IdFAI questionnaire may be considered as a standardized clinical instrument that can be used to classify degree of ankle instability in Iranian Persian-speaking people with a history of lateral ankle sprain. People with a history of ankle sprain can be assessed using IdFAI questionnaire before and after rehabilitative interventions in an attempt to determine any change in their degree of ankle instability over time.
