“…The consequences of persistent synovitis in terms of disrupting these functions are well documented for established RA [8-13] but the association between joint damage in the feet, impairment and function has not been evaluated in early disease. Nevertheless, strong recommendations have been made for careful attention to foot problems in early disease with an emphasis towards correcting underlying biomechanical faults, chiefly through the use of orthotic devices [14,15]. …”

Background: Foot involvement occurs early in rheumatoid arthritis but the extent to which this impacts on the structure and function leading to impairment and foot related disability is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical disease activity, impairment, disability, and foot function in normal and early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) feet using standardised clinical measures and 3D gait analysis.

Objective:to explore attitudes towards patients' self-reported data about foot health-related beliefs from a behavioural and attitudinal perspective. Methods:a sample of 282 participants of a mean age of 39.46 ± 16.026 came to a health centre where self-reported demographic, clinical characteristics and beliefs relating to foot health data were registered, informants' completed all the stages of the research process. Results:the results of the analysis revealed an 8-factor factorial structure based on (1) podiatric behaviours, (2) the intention to carry out protective behaviour, (3) attitudinal beliefs, (4) normative beliefs, (5) needs, (6) apathy, (7) self-care, and (8) the general perception of foot health. They all explained 62.78% of the variance, and were considered as independent variables in a regression analysis to determine which provided the best explanations for the importance attributed to foot health. Conclusions:the participants in the study revealed a positive attitude in relation to foot health care and responsible behaviour.

“…In the forefoot, fibular drift of the toes mimics ulnar deviation of the finger joints and if severe the subluxed or dislocated toes can over-or under-ride adjacent toes. Painful callosities can develop over the dorsum of prominent toe joints, medially on a hallux valgus joint or around the plantar metatarsal heads (Korda & Balint 2004). Bursitis between or under the metatarsal heads is common and can be detected using MRI in around 60% of cases (Boutry et al 2003).…”
