The functional status of the SpA patients are usually evaluated globally.The aim of this study is to assess specifically the foot -related functional limitations of the SpA patients.
Detailed description
SpA patients who had foot pain at least for 4 weeks and those having bilateral anteroposterior and lateral feet x-rays will be included into the study. Foot x-rays will be evaluated by a radiologist by using the spondyloarthropathy tarsal radiographic index (SpA-TRI). The foot related functional status of the patients will be determined by the Turkish version of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS).
