Items that have a direct relationship with the development of Podiatric Health Programs in different countries are included. As the first line have been selected articles dealing specifically with the implementation of guidelines, protocols or health programs specifically targeted by podiatry; without limiting being included articles published in some specific databases, to develop a historical overview of the field of action of podiatry at different times. Items that were not related to the foot or lower limb were excluded; items that have a direct relationship with the development of Podiatric Health Programs in different countries were included.

 Results: A total of 128 references were identified. 74 were selected and finally 19 studies were included in the study, 16 international and 9 national.
