Abstract
[Purpose] Spondyloarthritis is a major inflammatory disease followed-up in the rheumatology clinics,
foot involvement in spodyloarthritis is common. The functional states of patients with spondyloarthritis are usually evaluated globally. The aim of this study was to assess the foot involvement-related functional limitations in
patients with spondyloarthritis. [Subjects and Methods] Patients with ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis
with foot pain more than 4 weeks who underwent anteroposterior and lateral feet radiography were enrolled into
the study. A “clinical findings score” was calculated by assigning 1 point for every finding of swelling, redness, and
tenderness. C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were used as serum markers for disease activity. Foot radiograms were evaluated using the spondyloarthropathy tarsal radiographic index and the foot-related
functional state of patients was determined by the Turkish version of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score. [Results]
There were no relationships between Foot and Ankle Outcome Score subscales and clinical findings score, serum
markers, or radiologic score. Pain and symptoms subscale scores were result positively correlated with activity of
daily living, sport and recreation, and quality of life subscale scores. [Conclusion] Pain and symptoms are the main
determinants of foot-related functional limitations in spondyloarthritis.
Key words: Foot, Spondyloarthritis, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score
