Development of the Foot and Ankle Activity Level Scale (FAALS) Instrument
The FAALS instrument is a short, clinically useful tool to measure activity level specific to the foot and ankle. FAALS normative values provide valuable information for physician-patient communication, which may serve to facilitate shared decision-making, improve postoperative care, and allow physicians to track recovery progress.
