Table 4.

Responsiveness of FAOS subscales (n=74)^*.

FAOS Subscale	Preoperative Score +/− sd	Postoperative Score +/− sd	P Value	ES
Pain	58.1 +/− 20.2	78.3 +/− 13.4	0.0003	1.178
Symptoms	66.9 +/− 14.5	70.8 +/− 16.6	0.2979	0.250
Daily Activities	68.0 +/− 18.7	85.9 +/− 9.0	0.0004	1.220
Sports/Recreation	60.9 +/− 29.5	82.2 +/− 17.8	0.0245	0.874
Quality of Life	33.2 +/− 26.8	57.8 +/− 25.4	0.0176	0.942

Responsiveness reflects whether the instrument changes as the condition changes. All FAOS subscales were responsive to change after plantar fascial surgery.
