Foot and Ankle Outcome Score
The Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) is a 42-item patient self-report instrument designed to assess symptoms, function, and activity limitations in individuals with foot and ankle pathology. Developed by Roos and colleagues in 2001 and published in the Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy, the FAOS has become the standard outcome measure in foot and ankle surgery and rehabilitation research, providing comprehensive evaluation across pain, stiffness, physical function, sport/recreation, and foot-ankle-related quality of life.
