Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate foot function in patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) and how it relates to various sociodemographic and clinical factors, assessing aspects like mobility, foot pain, and foot care.
- Among 101 SSc patients, over half experienced forefoot pain, around one-third had hindfoot pain, and many had other foot issues such as ulcers and callosities; foot function and pain levels correlated with the severity of symptoms related to SSc.
- The findings highlighted a significant prevalence of foot dysfunction in SSc patients, underlining the need for better foot care and routine examinations in clinical practice to address these issues effectively.
