The Leeds Foot Impact Scale

The Leeds Foot Impact Scale (LFIS) is a quantitative measure of foot impacts associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

It was developed using the needs-based approach and subjected to a rigorous validation process detailed in the paper:

Helliwell PS., Reay N., Gilworth G., Redmond AC., Slade A., Tennant A., Woodburn J., Development of a foot impact scale for rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis & Rheumatism (Arthritis Care & Research) 2005: 53;3. 418-422
