Home monitoring of foot skin temperatures to prevent ulceration.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of at-home infrared temperature monitoring as a preventative tool in individuals at high risk for diabetes-related lower-extremity ulceration and amputation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eighty-five patients who fit diabetic foot risk category 2 or 3 (neuropathy and foot deformity or previous history of ulceration or partial foot amputation) were randomi...

In this regard, the use of offloading methods for the prevention and treatment of foot ulcers in diabetic patients is known as a common therapeutic approach. Since evidence-based recommendations should be considered for the use of the above...
متن کاملMuscle perfusion scan for prediction of anticipated diabetic foot ulceration
Introduction:We evaluated the performance of muscle perfusion scan (MPS) to assess muscle perfusion reserve (MPR) for prediction of incident diabetic foot ulcerations (DFU). Methods: We recruited 41 diabetic patients without any history of DFU. Five mCi 99mTc-MIBI was injected intravenously during repetitive dorsal and plantar right foot flexions. T...
