The Munich Ankle Questionnaire (MAQ): a self-assessment tool for a comprehensive evaluation of ankle disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are many approved patient-related outcome measurement tools regarding ankle pathologies. However, there is none incorporating the range of motion (ROM) as an objective parameter. Most instruments focus on subjective parameters such as pain and impairment at work or daily living. Furthermore, the majority is only applicable to a specific pathology. Therefore, the objective of our study was to develop and validate the Munich Ankle Questionnaire (MAQ) as a universal self-assessment score including subjective and objective items.

Methods

The established McGuire Score, Bray Score, Ankle Hindfoot Score (AOFAS) and Olerud and Molander Score were analyzed for relevant items and subscales. Items of interest were then condensed and allocated to the respective subscale
