Foot ulcer prevention using biomechanical modelling
Foot ulcers are a common complication of diabetes and are the consequence of trauma to the feet and a reduced ability to perceive pain in persons with diabetes. Ulcers appear internally when pressures applied on the foot create high internal strains below bony structures. It is therefore important to monitor tissue strains in persons with diabetes. We propose to use a biomechanical model of the...
متن کاملTreatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) with Pharmaceutical Product using Hirudo orientalis: A Case Report
Every 30 seconds, one lower limb amputation due to diabetes is performed in the world. This study was conducted on a 64-year-old woman with a diabetic foot on her left leg [Sci Rew1] . The patient had pain with a visual analog scale (VAS) score of 80 mm on 100 mm. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a product derived from leeches in the treatment of DFUs.

متن کاملScottish foot ulcer risk score predicts foot ulcer healing in a regional specialist foot clinic.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether patients developing ulcers had previously been identified as being at high risk of ulceration using the Scottish Care Information-Diabetes Collaboration (SCI-DC) ulcer risk score and whether the risk score predicts ulcer healing. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS All patients attending the diabetes foot clinic with an ulcer had been assessed for foot ulcer risk using ...
متن کاملDiabetic foot ulcer mobile detection system using smart phone thermal camera: a feasibility study
BACKGROUND Nowadays, the whole world is being concerned with a major health problem, which is diabetes. A very common symptom of diabetes is the diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). The early detection of such foot complications can protect diabetic patients from any dangerous stages that develop later and may require foot amputation. This work aims at building a mobile thermal imaging system that can be...
