Pre- and postoperative values in 68 patients operated due to forefoot disorders, with responsiveness expressed as effect size (ES) and standardized response mean (SRM). Data are presented as mean with 95% confidence interval. Due to missing answers in some questionnaires, the numbers of fully filled questionnaires are presented in parentheses in the left-hand column (n)
