Up to 20% of the general population, especially women and old people, suffer from non traumatic lesions of the foot. These lesions have repercussions on a person's health and wellbeing. Nevertheless, the clinical examination of the foot rarely forms part of routine medical consultations. Using questionnaires and individual interviews, this pilot study investigated the foot problems of 96 patients attending a podiatrist's practice, as well as the level of communication between the patients and their doctor. 85% of the participants said they never talked about calluses and nails with their doctor. The results were confirmed by fifteen individual interviews. Clinicians have an important role to play in the early detection of these lesions, allowing an efficient management of this issue.
高达20%的普通人群，尤其是女性和老年人，患有足部非创伤性病变。这些病变会对人的健康和幸福产生影响。然而，足部的临床检查很少成为常规医疗咨询的一部分。本试点研究通过问卷调查和个人访谈，调查了96名到足病医生诊所就诊的患者的足部问题，以及患者与医生之间的沟通水平。85%的参与者表示他们从未与医生谈论过胼胝和指甲问题。15次个人访谈证实了这一结果。临床医生在这些病变的早期检测中发挥着重要作用，从而能够有效地处理这个问题。
