Abstract
Foot and ankle (foot/ankle) pain is common in the community. The prevalence of foot pain has been estimated at 13-36%, and the prevalence of ankle pain is approximately 12%. Compared to other body sites, the foot/ankle is his third most common site of self-reported joint pain in adults over the age of 55. The presence of foot/ankle pain is a risk factor for functional impairments such as impaired mobility, impaired balance and increased risk of falls. In addition to functional impairment, the presence of foot/ankle pain is a risk factor for poor health-related quality of life.
