ABSTRACT
Objectives: To know the perception of patients about pain and location in the feet due to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Identify the advice and care received about the problems of your feet and footwear, and which professional provided it. To know if patients wore plantar orthoses or orthopedic shoes.
Patients and methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, conducted between March and May 2021 on 47 people with SLE. Five participants were excluded for not completing the questionnaire, with 42 participants after obtaining their informed consent. A data collection sheet was prepared to achieve the objectives.
Results: A total of 47.6 % of patients had foot pain attributed to SLE during the interview, with an average pain of 4.4 (SD = 2.97). The pain was mainly localized to the forefoot and fingers. Thirtyone (31 %) and 21.4 % received care or advice for their foot problems respectively, with podiatrists and rheumatologists being the main prescribers. Also, 31 % received advice on proper footwear, provided mainly by podiatrists and rheumatologists. One third (33,33 %) used plantar orthoses, being mostly prescribed by rheumatologists and podiatrists. Only 4.8 % used orthopedic or custom-made shoes.
Conclusions: A significant prevalence of foot pain attributed to SLE was found, with the forefoot and toes being the most affected areas. A limited percentage of patients received care and advice for their foot problems, and the use of plantar orthotics and orthopedic footwear was uncommon.
RESUMEN
Objetivos: Conocer la percepción de los pacientes sobre el dolor y localización en los pies debido al lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES). Identificar los consejos y cuidados recibidos sobre los problemas de sus pies y calzado, y qué profesional los proporcionó. Conocer si los pacientes usaban ortesis plantares o calzado ortopédico.
Pacientes y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, realizado entre marzo y mayo de 2021 sobre 47 personas con LES. Cinco participantes se excluyeron por no completar el cuestionario, siendo 42 los participantes después de obtener su consentimiento informado. Se confeccionó una hoja de recogida de datos para alcanzar los objetivos.
Resultados: El 47.6 % de los pacientes presentaba dolor en los pies atribuido al LES durante la entrevista, con un promedio de dolor de 4.4 (DE = 2.97). El dolor se localizó principalmente en el antepié y los dedos. El 31 % y el 21.4 % recibieron cuidados o consejos para sus problemas en los pies respectivamente, siendo podólogos y reumatólogos los principales prescriptores. El 31 % recibió consejos sobre el calzado adecuado, proporcionados principalmente por podólogos y reumatólogos. El 33.33 % utilizaba ortesis plantares, siendo mayormente prescritas por reumatólogos y podólogos. Solo un 4.8 % utilizaba calzado ortopédico o hecho a medida.
Conclusiones: Se encontró una prevalencia significativa de dolor en los pies atribuido al LES, siendo el antepié y los dedos las áreas más afectadas. Un porcentaje limitado de pacientes recibió cuidados y consejos para sus problemas en los pies, y el uso de ortesis plantares y calzado ortopédico fue poco común.
