case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Foot Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome".

Foot pain is usually derived from systemic disorder or local physical issues, such as tendonitis, arthritis, or bursitis. However, in some cases, pain in your foot may be linked to problems in your spine. This case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Foot Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome". This syndrome was reported in 11 patients (6 males and 5 females) out of 4000 patients with a history of chronic low back pain (CLBP) throughout 2 to 6 years in an outpatient clinic in Egypt from 2016 to 2022. The patients suffered from CLBP that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long. They all had clinical spinal instability, hallux rigidus, foot abnormalities and tightness of hip flexors and adductors accompanied with weakness of hip extensors and abductors on the affected side. Manual therapy for the big toe including; Maitland mobilization (Grade 3,4), Mulligan mobilization with movement techniques, muscle energy techniques, manual therapy for plantar fascia, strengthening exercises and self-stretching exercises was performed.
