Background and Purpose: During pregnancy, the foot is more in contact with the ground; the need for an increase in foot size, increased metacarpophalangeal laxity, and physical changes are among the most common foot problems. The study validated the Turkish Foot Health Assessment Instrument (FHAI) version. Methods: This observational study comprised 261 pregnant women receiving follow-ups at the outpatient clinic. Coefficient alpha and item analysis were used to assess the reliability. Confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis were applied to test the scale's construct validity. Results: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the factor structure (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = .766, χ2 = 1563.838; p < .001; α = .812). Conclusions: The FHAI is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the foot health of pregnant women living in Turkey.

Assessment of the Abdomen II: Percussion

Percussion is a fundamental technique used to assess the liver, spleen, and abdominal organs by tapping the abdomen and interpreting the resulting sounds. This method helps identify fluid, distention, and masses through variations in sound, such as the high-pitched tympany of air-filled areas and the dullness of solid masses. Understanding how to percuss these organs provides valuable information for healthcare professionals in diagnosing conditions early.
