    Abstract

    Global functional and disability are equivalent for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite lower levels of peripheral joint damage in PsA for equivalent disease duration. PsA is associated with clinically important levels of foot and ankle-related impairment and disability. Authors recommend that greater attention is paid to the feet of these patients and that appropriate treatment is provided for inflammatory joint and skin lesions as well as associated mechanical problems.
