Diabetic Foot
Commonest complication of Diabetes
Foot ulcers are a common complication of poorly controlled diabetes, forming as a result of skin tissue breaking down and exposing the layers underneath. Sometimes it affects your feet bones. Due to development of neuropathy and vasculopathy, diabetic foot is more vulnerable for injuries, hence all diabetic patients need to take uttermost care of their feet. Diabetic patients are prone for fungal infections in web spaces, corns, callus, even small shoe bite can lead to foot amputations.
Proper foot care routine like self examination of foot , proper skin moisturization and well fitted shoe wear can save you from foot problems.
At our diabetic foot clinic , we have latest technology available to detect smallest change in foot architecture and vasculature. Following are the technology details
Biothesiometer
Loss of sensation due to neuropathy is the major cause of painless injuries to the feet. Hence early and accurate detection of sensation loss due to neuropathy is the best way to protect the feet from amputation. This is done by Vibratory Perception Test which is performed at a state of the art easy to operate Digital Vibratory Perception Threshold (VPT) Analysis System.
Podia Scan [Prescam]
This instrument produces Instantaneous and permanent high resolution colour image of the pressure distribution across the plantar surface of the foot. It can pick up slightest change in the pressure distribution .This equipment catches pressure change in static as well as dynamic state and produces mean pressure of around 300 foot images. By using this Podiatrist / Footwear designer can develop a suitable foot ware for the patient by off-loading the pressure points and ultimately save the limb.
Vascular Doppler
A common device for circulatory system testing, a Vascular Doppler examines the veins and arteries in the human body to check blood flow. SMARTDOP 30EX The Smartdop 30EX is a compact bidirectional vascular Doppler with automatic cuff inflator and computer interface. It automatically calculates Ankle Brachial Index and Toe Brachial Index results quickly and accurately. It has a real-time waveform LCD and integrated printer for documentation.
