Clinical audit of foot problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated at Counties Manukau District Health Board, Auckland, New Zealand
Rome, K; Gow, PJ; Dalbeth, N; Chapman, JM (BioMed Central Ltd, 2009)Background At diagnosis, 16% of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients may have foot joint involvement, increasing to 90% as disease duration increases. This can lead to joint instability, difficulties in walking and limitation ... -
Clinically-evident Tophi Are Associated With Reduced Muscle Force in the Foot and Ankle in People With Gout: A Cross-sectional Study
Stewart, S; Dalbeth, N; Otter, S; Gow, P; Kumar, S; Rome, K (BioMed Central, 2017)Background: The foot and ankle represent a common site for tophi in people with gout, yet it is unclear whether the presence of tophi is related to impaired muscle function.
