| Diabetic Foot |
There are different types
of diabetes, but the common affected areas in all cases start with the foot.
The insensate foot leads to the largest trend of amputation. Abnormal pressure
on the insensate foot plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic
foot ulcers. Failure to relieve pressure is the main cause of non-healing
diabetic ulcers. Generally, people on a common note feel that wearing footwear
prevents and cures diabetes. But different studies have shown that about 83% of
diabetic subjects did not wear appropriate footwear. The common foot disorders
start with the collapse of the normal foot arch or generally referred to as the
flat foot type.
