Administration Instructions
The MOXFQ should be self-administered and takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Patients should be instructed to consider their foot/ankle problems over the past week when answering questions. The questionnaire can be completed on paper, electronically, or via telephone interview.
Scoring Methodology
The MOXFQ uses a 5-point Likert scale (0-4) for each question: 0 = No problem, 1 = Mild problem, 2 = Moderate problem, 3 = Severe problem, 4 = Extreme problem. Domain scores are calculated by summing individual question scores and transforming to a 0-100 scale where 0 represents the best possible health state. Lower scores indicate better outcomes.
Meaningful Change Threshold
A change of 10-15 points in any domain score is considered clinically meaningful. For the total score, a change of 8-12 points represents a meaningful improvement or worsening.

Clinical Limitations & Considerations
