“…Patients with high levels of kinesiophobia present greater functional problems in the foot and lower extremities [ 14 , 40 ]. In the case of hallux valgus, moderate or severe deformities are associated with higher levels of kinesiophobia and pain [ 15 ].…”

“…It has been demonstrated that patients who suffer from musculoskeletal pain in general or foot pain in particular present high levels of kinesiophobia [ 40 , 48 ]. Therefore, the most suitable conservative treatments for musculoskeletal problems, including supervised physical activity and orthopedic treatments (i.e., foot orthoses), can be recommended knowing the level of kinesiophobia.…”

Relationship between Kinesiophobia, Foot Pain and Foot Function, and Disease Activity in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross-Sectional Study

The main objective of the present study was to determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and pain (general and foot pain), foot function, and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A total of 124 interviews were carried out with participants with RA. Participants were recruited from the Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves de Granada in Spain. Interviews took place in January 2021. Participants completed the following questionnaires during an appointment with their rheumatologist: Foot Function Index (FFI), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), and the Visual Analogue Scale Pain foot (VAS Pain). Furthermore, the Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) was used to measure disease activity. Of the 124 participants, 73% were women, and their mean age was 59.44 years (SD 11.26 years). In the statistical analysis, positive linear correlations (p < 0.001) were obtained between the variables TSK-11 and VAS (related to general pain or foot pain) and FFI (in its three subscales). Additionally, a negative correlation between the TSK-11 and the educational background was shown. This study provided information about the relationship between foot function and pain with different levels of kinesiophobia in patients with RA. Additionally, the educational background of the patient was considered a predictor of whether or not a patient suffered from kinesiophobia.

“…Limited joint mobility and decreased muscle strength may lead to disabilities, causing significant problems, particularly for those engaging in dynamic activities such as walking or stair climbing [10]. Limited lower extremity function has been reported to result in high levels of kinesiophobia [11,12] and decreased quality of life [13].…”

Introduction: Foot health and lower extremity function are important in older people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as they maintain and promote these individuals’ independent living and functional health. RA is a long-term inflammatory health condition that alters foot structure and function. Relatively little is known about the association between foot health and lower extremity function in older people with RA. Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyse the levels of foot health and lower extremity function in older people with RA and to explore the associations between these factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design study was conducted. The data were collected online in April 2023 from a national association of patients with rheumatic conditions in Finland using two instruments: the Self-administered Foot Health Assessment Instrument (S-FHAI) and the Lower Extremity Function Scale (LEFS). The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Older people with RA (n = 270) reported many foot health problems, the most common of which were foot pain, dry skin and oedema. Lower extremity function in older people with RA was at the mild-to-moderate functional limitation level, and respondents reported major difficulties running or hopping, squatting, carrying out their usual hobbies, performing strenuous activities outside their homes or putting on shoes/socks. Poor levels of foot health were correlated with decreased lower extremity function. Conclusion: Foot health is associated with lower extremity function in older people with RA. Therefore, it is essential that older people with RA be provided with systematic foot health assessments, care and rehabilitation to promote their lower extremity health and improve their functional health. Multiprofessional collaboration and seamless care chains at different levels of health care could benefit older people with RA looking to maintain their functional ability and – above all – promote their active ageing.

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı; hafif ve orta şiddetli halluks valguslu hastalarda konservatif tedavinin ayak ve alt ekstremite fonksiyonel durumu üzerine etkisinin incelenmesiydi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma kapsamında halluks valgus tanısı almış toplam 15 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Demografik verileri kaydedilen katılımcıların halluks valgus açıları, universal gonyometre ile; halluks valgus ile ilgili fonksiyonel durumları Çok Boyutlu Nil Halluks valgus ölçeği ile; alt ekstremite fonksiyonel durumu ise Alt Ekstremite Fonksiyonel Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Tedavi başlangıcı ve 6 hafta sonunda değerlendirilen katılımcılar 6 hafta boyunca haftada 3 gün 45-60 dk fizyoterapist gözetiminde ayak egzersizleri, bantlama ve gece atelinden oluşan konservatif tedavi programına alındı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen bireylerin yaş, vücut kütle indeksi ve halluks valgus açıları verilerinin median ve çeyrekler arası aralık değerleri sırasıyla 50 (24/56) yıl; 23,9(20/26,3) kg/m2 ve 17(15/25) derece şeklindeydi. Konservatif tedavi programı sonucunda ayak fonksiyonel durumu(p=0,002) ve alt ekstremite fonksiyonel durumunda (p=0,004) anlamlı iyileşme olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda konservatif tedavinin halluks valguslu hastalarda ayak ve alt ekstremite fonksiyonel durumu üzerine etkili olduğu, ayrıca Çok Boyutlu Nil Halluks Valgus Ölçeği ve Alt Ekstremite Fonksiyonel Ölçeği’nin, halluks valgus hastalarında konservatif tedavinin etkinliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla kullanılabilir olduğu gösterilmiştir.
