Objective:To analyze the impact of the foot health and health behavior and the characteristics of outdoor footwear among minority ethnic groups. Design and measures:A cross-sectional study design using the Foot Health Status Questionnaire: foot pain, foot function, shoe, general foot health, general health, physical activity, social capacity, and vigor. Outcomes included the self-reported type of outdoor footwear and clinical characteristics by sex were collected in 2019-2020.Sample: A total of 78 Roma participants self-identified as members of this ethnic minority and 72 participants non-Roma were assessed (n = 150). Results:The lower score values was recorded in the footwear and general foot health domains in Roma population. General population obtained higher scores in general health domains. The most common outdoor footwear types were running shoes and walking shoes in non-Roma population, versus flip flops and slippers in Roma population. Clinical characteristics did not show any statistically significant differences (p < .05). Conclusion:Roma people wear flip flops and slippers and non-Roma people running shoes and walking shoes. These findings reveal cultural differences that make it easier for the Roma population to experience a greater burden of foot health problems.General foot health and foot pain dimensions show statistically significant differences among ethnicity.

Objetivo: Se pretende analizar la modificación de la postura de los pies al ser sometidos a una situación estresante para la musculatura del miembro inferior, y valorar la capacidad de recuperación de esos pies tras un período de descanso. Método: Se determinó el Índice de Postura del Pie (FPI-6) en 63 sujetos adultos sanos y fueron sometidos a una prueba de “Saltos con Contramovimiento (CMJ)” 30 segundos. Después, se valora el FPI-6 de cada sujeto, así como tras 15 minutos de descanso. Resultados: Hubo cambios estadísticamente significativos en la postura del pie en ambos grupos al relacionar las tres situaciones experimentales (antes e inmediatamente después de la prueba y tras descanso). Dichos cambios presentan una magnitud del efecto fuerte entre los momentos basales y post, y entre post y descanso; mientras que es débil entre los momentos basales y descanso. Tras la prueba, existe un aumento del valor del FPI-6 respecto a la situación inicial. Tras el descanso los cambios observados fueron significativos en relación a los obtenidos tras la prueba con disminución del valor del FPI-6, aunque no volvieron a los valores iniciales previos a la prueba. Conclusiones: La fatiga producida por la prueba CMJ afecta a los valores del FPI, produciendo un aumento de los mismos, pero no es suficiente para modificar la clasificación de la postura del pie en los grupos de pies neutros y pronados estudiados. El tiempo de descanso propuesto no fue suficiente para volver a la situación inicial.
