OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to translate into Portuguese, make adaptations, and study the reproducibility, validation and internal consistency of the parameters of the Manchester Foot-Pain Disability Index. METHODS: The MFPDI was translated and culturally adapted in a population of eighty-five (85) elderly people, living in the city of São Paulo, seen at the outpatient clinics of the .Instituto de Geriatria e Gerontologia of the Escola Paulista de Medicina. The patients had at least 60 years-old, of either sex, displaying foot pain of at least 30 mm on a visual analog scale (VAS). Patients were evaluated by 3 times by the MFPDI, in such a way that on the first time each patient was evaluated by the interviewers 1 and 2 at the same day; to assess reproducibility, within the next 15 days each patient was evaluated again by the interviewer 1. Validation was verified by checking for social and demographic data, as well as morphological and VAS values. Internal consistency was checked by means of the Cronbach alpha, assessing reproducibility of the answers in the three interviews. RESULTS: The MFPDI index demonstrated that this population presented functional inability associated to foot pain. The internal consistency between interviews was high (Alpha of Cronbach = 0.80). Though presenting a weak correlation, there was a significant validity comparing MFPDI and the VAS (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The translation and cultural adaptation of the MFPDI provide a reproducible, consistent and valuable tool to evaluate foot pain.
