AB Background: The Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ) is a foot health psychometric toolfor measuring foot health status that consists of eight dimensions. Currently, the FHSQ has beenadapted to several languages. It was considered necessary to translate and adapt the FHSQ tothe Persian language. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the repeatability and reliability ofthe Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ) translated into Persian.Method: The translation into Persian and test-retest reliability methods came from the Englishversion of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to 88 individuals diagnosed withplantar heel pain, who were recruited from a podiatry clinic in Iran. To assess test-retest reliability,the instrument was administered on two separate occasions, with a five-day interval between theinitial and follow-up assessments.Results: As regards the total mark for each dimension, internal consistency and reliability weredetermined with the Cronbach α and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a confidenceinterval (CI) of 95%. High internal consistency was shown for the eight dimensions: (a) foot pain,with a Cronbach α of 0.773; (b) foot function and (c) general foot health with 0.788 and 0.776respectively; (d) shoe with 0.793; (e) general health with 0.784; (f) physical function with 0.795;(g) social function with 0.801 and (h) vigour with 0.748. Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.911[95% CI =0.844–0.949]) was shown for the total score.Conclusions: The Persian version of the FHSQ was shown to be a valid and reliable tool foracceptable use in the Iran population.
