Clinical rating systems for the ankle-hindfoot, midfoot, hallux, and lesser toes.
Four rating systems were developed by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society to provide a standard method of reporting clinical status of the ankle and foot. The systems incorporate both subjective and objective factors into numerical scales to describe function, alignment, and pain.
