Dynamic plantar loading index detects altered foot function in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis but not changes due to orthotic use [PDF]
Background Altered foot function is common in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Plantar pressure distributions during gait are regularly assessed in this patient group; however, the association between frequently reported magnitude-based pressure ...
