Abstract
BACKGROUND: Mechanical hyperkeratotic lesions (MHL) are common condition amongst population of all ages. Such problems may be associated with pain, reduction in mobility, changes of gait and risk of falls and is believed to affect the quality of life (QoL), general health and optimal foot health. OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this study was to describe and compare both foot and general health-related QoL in two groups of participants: (i) with MHL and (ii) healthy controls. METHOD: A total sample of 150 patients, mean age 49.50 ± 36.50 years, was recruited from an outpatient clinic. Demographic data, medical history and clinical characteristics of overall health were determined, and the obtained values were compared by the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ). RESULTS: The FHSQ scores of the sample with MHL showed lower scores than control subjects in sections one and two for footwear, general and foot health, foot pain, foot function and physical activity (P < 0.01), but not for social capacity and vigour (P > 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: People with MHL showed a decrease in QoL, based on FHSQ scores, regardless of gender.
