In patients with RA, no direct relationship between pain intensity and plantar foot loading was found. The decreased tactile sensitivity may be indicative of a disturbed sensation for high plantar pressures. Therefore, pedography can be useful as an additional tool in the detection of excessive forefoot loading before complications are manifested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
