A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was shown for footfunction, general foot health, general health, physical activity and vigor domains, statingthat people with MS have a lower related to foot health (lower FHSQ scores) compared tohealthy subjects who have higher FHSQ scores. There were no statistically significantdifferences (p > 0.05) for the scores of the other domains of the FHSQ (foot pain, footwearand social capacity).Conclusion: Patients with MS suffer a negative impact on the quality of life related to foothealth, which appears to be associated with the chronic disease.
