AB  - OBJECTIVE: To tested the reliability and validity of Aofas in a sample of 
      rheumatoid arthritis patients. METHODS: The scale was applicable to rheumatoid 
      arthritis patients, twice by the interviewer 1 and once by the interviewer 2. The 
      Aofas was subjected to test-retest reliability analysis (with 20 Rheumatoid 
      arthritis subjects). The psychometric properties were investigated using Rasch 
      analysis on 33 Rheumatoid arthritis patients. RESULTS: Intra-Class Correlation 
      Coefficient (ICC) were (0.90<ICC<0.95; p<0.001) for intra-observer reliability 
      and (0.75<ICC<0.91; p<0.001) for inter-observer reliability. Subjects separation 
      rates were 1.9 and 4.75 for the items, showing that patients fell into three 
      ability levels, and the items were divided into six difficulties levels. The 
      Rasch analysis showed that eight items was satisfactory. One erroneous item have 
      been identified, showing percentages above the 5% allowed by the statistical 
      model. Further Rasch modeling suggested revising the original item 8. 
      CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the Brazilian versions of Aofas exhibit 
      adequate reliability, construct validity, response stability. These findings 
      indicate that Aofas Ankle-Hindfoot scale presents a significant potential for 
      clinical applicability in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Other studies in 
      populations with other characteristics are now underway.
