AB Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the feet of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients,to determine the degree to which both feet were affected, primarily analyzing the severity of RA inboth feet looking at structure and morphology, and secondly looking at the symmetry in terms of theanthropometrics and posture. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January toDecember 2018. The data from 229 patients with RA and with foot pain and no RA recruited (Granada,Spain) were analyzed. Two researchers independently interviewed the patients to obtain the studydata. The clinical data were obtained using specific foot health and quality of life questionnairesand a validated platform for foot measurement. Anthropometric measurements were obtained bymeans of a foot measurement platform and the Foot Posture Index (FPI). The bivariate analysis wasperformed with the Student’s t test and the non-parametricWilcoxon test. The level of significancewas established at p < 0.05. Results: In the RA group, anthropometric measurements revealedsignificant differences between the left and right feet in 13 of the 23 parameters considered, as follows:(non-load-bearing) foot length, length of the first metatarsophalangeal joint, maximum height of theinternal longitudinal arch, and width of the midfoot (p < 0.001, p = 0.038, p < 0.001, and p = 0.037respectively); and Foot Posture Index (p = 0.001). Conclusions: In patients with RA, statisticallysignificant differences were found in the Foot Posture Index and in several parameters related tofoot structure and morphology. From this, we conclude that from a morphological, structural, andpostural standpoint, a pattern of symmetric joint involvement should not be viewed as a specificcriterion for RA in the foot.
