Introduction[edit | edit source]

It was developed by Dr. Jessie VanSwearingen with Dr. Jennifer Brach in order to evaluate the disability resulting from disorders of the facial nerve.[1]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

It is a patient-rated outcome measure. There are 10 items from which items 1 - 5 constitute the Physical Function subscale, while items 6 - 10 constitute the Social/Well-being Function subscale. Each item in the Physical Function subscale is rated from 5 to 0 while items in the Social/Well-being Function subscale are rated from 6 to 1. The individual subscales are scored out of a total of 100 where the highest score is the best result.[1]

The FDI worksheet can be found here along with the formula for score calculation.

It has been translated to Italian[2], Spanish[3], Brazilian Portuguese[4], Turkish[5], French[6], Dutch[7], and German[8].

Evidence[edit | edit source]

It has been validated and is reliable for use in clinical studies (theta reliability: Physical Function = .88, Social/Well-being function = .83).[1]
