Valid and reliable outcome measures are fundamental for evaluating and comparing the effects of rehabilitation. Among the different tools used for the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limb, the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) has been shown to have good psychometric properties. However, it has not yet been translated into Italian. The module regarding the performance of daily living activities (FAAM/ADL), in particular, can be applied also in an occupational setting. ⋯ FAAM-I/ADL shows good psychometric properties, together with speed and ease of administration and scoring. Its use will facilitate the comparison of Italian data with international studies, ensuring greater uniformity of assessment.
