A French foot health survey showed that 73% of people examined felt pain and 38% don't left their home, which suggest a reduction in their life's quality and autonomy. Developed by Paul Bennett, FHSQ is a foot health-specific self administrated questionnaire. It sensitively detects changes in patients' foot health status, whatever their pathology, across multidimensional concepts of their quality of life. Actually, more than 150 scientific publications have cited it. Reliable and valid, it has already been translated and validated in multiple languages, but not in French. The subject of this study is to validate the translated and cross-cultural adapted French version FHSQ-fr through its psychometric results of validity and reliability. The study follows a 2-stage methodology. The first, already completed, consisted of (back)translating the Australian FHSQ questionnaire into French by a scientific committee in order to obtain a pre-final version. The second is to validate this final version using appropriate statistical analysis, including correlations studies with other French validated questionnaires, to determine its psychometric characteristics.
