Particularități constructiv- funcționale ale încălțămintei diabeticilor

Abstract

Preliminary evidence suggests that the provision of custom-made shoes reduces the risk of further ulceration in those patients with previous ulceration. For the remaining population, however, it is not cost effective and patients should be encouraged to provide their own good-fitting footwear. Deformities of the foot include any loss of fatty tissue, toe or joint abnormality, amputation and any finding suggestive of excessive pressure points or callus formation. Provided by the multidisciplinary foot clinic as needed. Polyurethane, Velcro- fastening shoes which may or may not provide forefoot or rear-foot offloading. Designed to accommodate bulky wound dressings.
