In the foot problems scale, what does code 2 indicate?

• A. No foot problems
• B. Foot problems, no limitation in walking
• C. Foot problems limit walking
• D. Foot problems prevent walking

Answer: (C)

This assesses how foot problems affect walking. Code 2 means there are foot problems that limit walking, but do not stop it entirely. So walking is still possible, just with some restriction or difficulty (for example, needing to rest sooner, walking more slowly, or feeling pain after a distance). This sits between having foot problems with no walking limitation and having foot problems that prevent walking. The other descriptions describe no problems, no limitation despite problems, or an inability to walk, which are not what code 2 conveys.
