Resumen: | Purpose: Obesity is a growing health problem that affects a high percentage of the population. In podiatry context, few studies have addressed obesity because most pedobarographic systems are unable to bear the weight of patients with obesity, making it difficult to examine and manage these patients. The objective of this study was analyzed the sociodemographic characteristics, quality of life, foot disorders, and pedobarographic parameters of patients with extreme obesity who are candidates for bariatric surgery and determine the changes after weight loss post-surgery. Materials and Methods: We conducted a foot examination, a pedobarographic study using a Podoprint® pressure platform, and a quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D) on 23 patients with extreme obesity and analyzed the changes 12–18 months after surgery in 11 of them. Results: We observed foot disorders, high plantar pressure, greater rearfoot contact, flat footprint, asymmetries, and alterations in toe contact. Almost 73.9% of participants said they had foot pain, 56.5% said they had impaired mobility, and more than 40% said they had limitations in carrying out daily activities and suffered from anxiety. After weight loss, we observed improved quality of life; more foot disorders; changes in total contact area, plantar pressures, barycenter, contact time, and footprint; decreased pain perception, walking problems and anxiety situations. Moreover, medication decreased, but they need to take more vitamins and calcium. Conclusion: Weight loss improved the quality of life of the participating patients but altered their foot disorders. All parameters need regular reassessment to detect changes and modify initially prescribed treatments. |
