- Assessment of the Foot with Inflammatory Arthritis
- This 10-minute video, created by staff members at the Mary Pack Arthritis Program, focuses on two important components of a foot assessment. In the first section, each joint is assessed for the presence of active inflammation. Next, the biomechanical structure of the foot is examined, to determine if there is an underlying anomaly that could contribute to foot dysfunction
