Orthotic devices for the rheumatoid foot

Abstract

La polyarthrite rhumatoïde est un rhumatisme inflammatoire chronique touchant fréquemment le pied et responsable au cours de son évolution de dégâts structuraux de sévérité variable, avec altération de la fonction et de la qualité de vie. L’avant pied est généralement le plus précocement touché, tandis que les lésions du médio et arrière-pied surviennent tardivement et de façon plus insidieuse. L’examen clinique, les radios standards et l’échographie sont nécessaires au cours de la maladie pour le diagnostic et le suivi des lésions structurales. L’utilisation d’un appareillage adéquat et précoce permettra la prévention, la stabilisation des déformations et la diminution de l’invalidité liée au pied et à la cheville.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory rheumatism frequently affecting the foot and causing several structural damages during its evolution, with impairment function and loss of the quality of life. The forefoot is usually the earliest affected, while damage to the midfoot and hindfoot occurs late and more insidiously. Clinical examination, standard x-rays and ultrasound are necessary during the disease for the diagnosis and follow-up of structural damages. The use of adequate and early orthotic device will allow the prevention, stabilization of deformities and the reduction of disability related to the foot and ankle
