Objective[edit | edit source]
The Identification of Functional Ankle Instability (IdFAI) is a 10-point questionnaire specifically designed and developed to determine an individual’s ankle stability status.[1] It is intended to give both researchers and clinicians a simple and effective tool based on two functional ankle instability (FAI) instruments: the Cumberland Ankle Instability Test and the Ankle Instability Instrument .[2]
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Individuals with lasting deficits following an ankle sprain are recommended to answer IdFAI. The sensation of the ankle "giving way" (reported in about 40-60% of individuals with a history of at least one ankle sprain[3][4]) in the absence of a mechanical deficit is usually an indication of having FAI.[1] IdFAI will detect whether individuals meet a minimum criteria necessary for inclusion in an functional ankle instability population[5].
