Description
Summary:This study aimed to investigate the relationship between plantar pressure pedobarographic measurements and disease activity, radiological abnormalities, and foot indexes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sociodemographics, foot symptoms, anatomical distribution, pain intensity and duration, and podiatry services access data were collected. Disease activity scale of 28 joints (DAS28) was used for the disease activity, and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) was used for the functional status. Foot function index (FFI) was used to measure the impact of foot pathology on its function. The Modified Larsen scoring was used to assess radiological abnormalities. Pedobarographic measurements were used to analyze foot loading characteristics. A total of 104 feet of 52 patients with RA was evaluated. DAS28 scores did not correlate with the plantar pressure values (p>0.05). A significant correlation was found between HAQ scores and right medial midfoot loading pressure (r=0.355; p
