Footwear selection in women with rheumatoid arthritis

Studies report women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are not wearing NHS supplied therapeutic footwear; therefore it is likely they are wearing footwear sourced through retailers. Previous research gives limited information on people’s perceptions on the relationships that exist between retail footwear and the issues of wellbeing and quality of life.

Project objectives

This study aimed to explore the perceptions of women with RA regarding their choice of footwear and identify the factors influencing footwear selection.
