Conditions
Brief summary
Diabetic foot ulcers, caused by diabetes-related nerve and blood vessel damage, can lead to amputations. Silicone insoles help prevent ulcers but are often expensive. Affordable, customized insoles are available, making prevention more accessible.
Detailed description
This research aims to create affordable, locally manufactured silicone insoles for diabetic foot ulcers, reducing costs and improving accessibility. six-month study at the Pakistan.
Interventions
Assess the condition of foot ulcers in patients, beginning with creating a cast of the affected foot. After the initial rectification, necessary modifications are made to prepare the rough insole. The size and fit of the insole are then carefully checked against the patient's foot.
