Shoe gear for the insensitive foot.

W C Coleman

    Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery
    |April 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    People with insensitive feet lack natural injury protection. Regular prophylactic management, including precise shoe fitting and objective evaluations like pressure testing, is crucial for preventing foot injuries and ulcers.

    Area of Science:

    • Podiatry
    • Diabetic Foot Care
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Insensitive feet lack protective sensory feedback mechanisms.
    • Minor discomforts, normally prompting protective actions, go unfelt.
    • This leads to a high incidence of foot injuries in affected individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical need for precise shoe fitting in patients with insensitive feet.
    • To advocate for objective evaluations to maintain foot integrity.
    • To emphasize the importance of prophylactic management for preventing foot complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Discusses the necessity of precise shoe fitting.
    • Recommends objective evaluations such as shoe pressure testing and thermometry.
    • Stresses the role of regular prophylactic management schedules.

    Main Results:

    • Objective evaluations can identify high-pressure areas before ulceration.
    • Prophylactic management, including prescribed footwear, prevents injuries.
    • Early intervention is key to maintaining foot health.

    Conclusions:

    • Precise shoe fitting and regular objective evaluations are essential for managing insensitive feet.
    • Prophylactic management, including prescribed footwear, is vital for preventing foot ulcers and injuries.
    • Patients require a structured approach to foot care to avoid severe complications.
