“…Rathleff et al, (2014) implemented the only subjective measure, the Functional Foot Index (FFI). The FFI is a self-report questionnaire that assesses multiple dimensions of foot function (Budiman-Mak et al, 1991). The FFI consists of 23 items divided into three subscales that quantify the impact of foot pathology on pain, disability, and activity limitation.…”

“…The FFI consists of 23 items divided into three subscales that quantify the impact of foot pathology on pain, disability, and activity limitation. The scores range from 0 to 230, with 0 reflecting no pain, disability, or activity limitations (Budiman-Mak et al, 1991). The minimal important change is 7-points for the total scale (Landorf & Radford, 2008).…”

Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. The aim was to critically evaluate the literature investigating strength training interventions in the treatment of plantar fasciitis and improving intrinsic foot musculature strength.A search of PubMed, CINHAL, Web of Science, SPORTSDiscus, EBSCO Academic SearchComplete and PEDRO using the search terms plantar fasciitis, strength, strengthening, resistance training, intrinsic flexor foot, resistance training.Seven articles met the eligibility criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the modified Downs and Black checklist. All articles showed moderate to high quality, however external validity was low.A comparison of the interventions highlights significant differences in strength training approaches to treating plantar fasciitis and improving intrinsic strength. It was not possible to identify the extent to which strengthening interventions for intrinsic musculature may benefit symptomatic or at risk populations to plantar fasciitis. There is limited external validity that foot exercises, toe flexion against resistance and minimalist running shoes may contribute to improved intrinsic foot musculature function. Despite no plantar fascia thickness changes being observed through high-load plantar fascia resistance training there are indications that it may aid in a reduction of pain and improvements in function.Further research should use standardised outcome measures to assess intrinsic foot musculature strength and plantar fasciitis symptoms.

“…3 All of the items are rated using 100-mm visual analog scales, and higher scores indicate greater pain, disability, and limitation of activity, and thus poorer foot health. To obtain a domain score, the item scores are totaled and then divided by the maximum total possible for all of the domain items that the patient indicated were applicable.…”

The characteristic bone deformities associated with advanced Paget’s disease of bone may result in abnormal gait and plantar foot pressures, which contribute to the development of pressure-related skin problems. This study aimed to characterize the foot problems and foot-care needs in this patient group and to investigate the effect of disease distribution on the occurrence of foot pathology. One hundred thirty-four patients with Paget’s disease were assessed clinically, and the Foot Structure Index was completed for each patient. Patients completed self-administered questionnaires concerning foot function (Foot Function Index) and quality of life (12-Item Short Form). The results of this study suggest that foot-health and footwear problems are common in patients with Paget’s disease. Forty percent of the patients required professional foot care in addition to those already receiving it. The site of pagetic involvement did not affect the occurrence of foot pathology. Further research is required on the impact of the extent of any femoral or tibial deformity on foot symptoms and pathology. Biomechanical studies of the forces and motion in the foot related to different degrees of femoral and tibial deformity might also help determine the impact of deformity on foot pathology.
