How will rheumatoid arthritis affect you in early stages?
RESEARCH ABSTRACT
The impact of rheumatoid arthritis on foot function in the early stages of disease: a clinical case series
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.
