Anika Hoque

Dr. Anika Hoque is a Researcher in the Podiatry Department at Glasgow Caledonian University, specializing in rheumatoid arthritis foot disease assessment and management. Her research focuses on developing and validating clinical tools to measure disease activity in rheumatoid foot conditions, with particular expertise in the Rheumatoid Arthritis Foot Disease Activity Index (RADAI-F5).

Dr. Hoque's research interests center on improving assessment and management of foot complications in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Her work bridges podiatry and rheumatology, with emphasis on:

• Development and validation of specialized disease activity measures
• Application of musculoskeletal ultrasound in foot disease diagnosis
• Patient-centered assessment of clinical tools
• Translating research findings into clinical practice

Her publication record shows consistent research output in rheumatology assessment, with three peer-reviewed articles published between 2021-2023. These works demonstrate an evolving research trajectory from instrument development (2021), to clinical utility assessment (2022), and validation against imaging techniques (2023), reflecting comprehensive methodological rigor in her approach to rheumatoid foot disease assessment.

Dr. Hoque currently serves as a Co-Investigator on a research grant project examining the role of musculoskeletal ultrasound in diagnosing foot problems and informing podiatric management. This collaborative project involves multiple researchers across disciplines, demonstrating her integration into the broader rheumatology and podiatry research community.
