FHSQ
Foot Health Status Questionnaire
About Us
CareQuest is an organisation that focuses on developing and distributing patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) software, such as the original and sought after Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ).
Foot health status Questionnaire
The FHSQ was developed to meet the needs of researchers seeking a reliable way to assess foot health-related quality of life. Its distinctive approach was recognized early on, earning it a national research award in Australia.
Today, the FHSQ is a widely adopted international research tool, translated into multiple languages and used by clinicians, researchers, and students across all levels of study—including Honours, Masters, and PhD programs. Notably, the American Orthopaedic Association’s AO Handbook: Musculoskeletal Outcome Measures and Instruments (Suk 2005) recognized the FHSQ as the most scientifically valid foot and ankle measurement tool among 25 independently assessed instruments. In 2025 Harjot et.al. further demonstrated the questionnaires alignment with National Institutes of Health and American Medical Association Standards of design.
Backed by 25 years of experience and innovation in design thinking, a fully automated, secure, cloud-based FHSQ-iConnect platform is due for release in mid 2025. This latest advancement features a new set of health indices that empower clinicians to interpret and track patient outcomes during one-on-one consultations—delivering new insights in under 60 seconds.
