[Abstract] The Podiatric Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is a foot health psicometric tool consisting of six items for measuring
foot health status. Currently, PHQ has been adapted into Spanish. Thus, this research focused on develop the
Persian translation and adaptation of the PHQ. The translation into Persian and test-retest reliability methods
were applied from english version questionnarie. As regards to the total mark for each sub-scale, internal consistency
and reliability were determined by the Cronbach α and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a
confidence interval (CI) of 95%. High internal consistency was shown for the six sub-scales: a) walk with a
Cronbach α of 0.775; b) hygiene and c) nail care with 0.789 and 0.796 respectively; d) foot on pain with 0.779; e)
concern domain with 0.788; and f) quality of life with 0.798; and g) visual analogic scale with 0.803. Excellent
test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.912 [95% CI = 0.845–0.950]) was shown for the total score. Conclusions: The
persian version of the PHQ was shown to be a valid and reliable tool for an acceptable use in the Iran population
