“…Unmet needs and low provision of foot care have been reported in previous studies of people with RA , PsA , and JIA . The best available evidence suggests that footwear interventions for those with RA and gout and foot care interventions for people with RA, OA, gout, PsA, SSc, AS, and JIA may be beneficial for the relief of foot pain. Despite the evidence in support of foot care interventions, recent mixed‐methods research has found that in the context of moderate to severe disease–related foot disability, people with RA in the state of New South Wales, Australia, expressed significant dissatisfaction with foot care service access and provision .…”

“…There is low‐level evidence to support the use of foot orthoses for the relief of foot pain in people with RA and JIA ; however, evidence supporting the use of foot orthoses in other chronic musculoskeletal diseases is generally lacking. Foot care interventions delivered as a package of care (complex intervention) have not been evaluated extensively using comparative effectiveness research.…”

Objective. Foot pain and deformities are frequently reported by people with chronic musculoskeletal diseases, but only limited research has been conducted to explore the key issues concerning footwear difficulties in this population. The aim of this study is to explore, identify, and describe the main issues surrounding the footwear experiences of people with chronic musculoskeletal diseases. Methods. A qualitative manifest content analysis of open-ended survey responses concerning footwear experiences was conducted from a national footwear survey of people with chronic musculoskeletal diseases in New Zealand. Eighty-five respondents submitted usable responses. Specific statements in the text were identified as units of analysis prior to coding and organizing these units into emerging mutually exclusive categories. Content analysis was independently undertaken by 3 researchers, and the final categories and coding were achieved through consensus. Frequencies of assigned units of analysis were calculated in order to obtain a quantitative description for each category. Results. Four categories encompassing a total of 9 subcategories related to the footwear experiences of respondents emerged from the qualitative data content analysis: difficulty finding appropriate footwear; dissatisfaction with therapeutic footwear provision and foot care access; high costs of footwear, foot care, and self-care; and satisfaction with therapeutic footwear and foot care. Conclusion. Key categories describing the important issues surrounding the footwear experiences of respondents with chronic musculoskeletal diseases were identified, which may provide important targets for improving footwear and foot care services and self-management strategies.

“…At present, only two RCTs of the effectiveness of mechanical therapies for lower-limb problems in JIA were found. 20,21 We did not find an RCT that evaluates the effectiveness of physical therapies for lower-limb problems in children with JIA. Physical therapies that may be effective for specific lowerlimb problems in JIA are massage, specific muscle and stretching exercise programs, and hydrotherapy.…”

There is a paucity of research evaluating physical and mechanical therapies for lower-limb problems in JIA. No physical therapy has been evaluated in randomized controlled trials, and mechanical therapy evaluation is limited to foot orthoses and shoe inserts for foot and ankle pain. The existing research is hampered by small sample sizes. Until further research is conducted, the effectiveness of mechanical and physical therapies for lower-limb problems in JIA remains unclear.
