Abstract

Feet problems are common in rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and really contribute with pain and disability frequently associated with this disease. This article described a woman with rheumatoid feet treated with foot orthoses. The most frequent disturbances observed in RA were discussed, as well as the indication of insoles, its efficiency and the use of computerized dynamic pedobarography (F-Scan) as an accessory method to follow its orthotic treatment.
