Diabetes Foot Assessment
Diabetes can cause several foot complications therefore it is important to ensure your feet are checked regularly, and you have regular checks from your Podiatrist
Pressure plate analysis
At assessment we use a pressure plate to analyse where the pressures are going through your feet. This will highlight any areas that may be at higher risk of damage to your feet.
Sensation testing
A 10g monofilament is used to check sensation. This is a simple tool used to test the feeling in your feet on specific areas on your feet.
Testing blood flow
Diabetes can lead to a reduced blood flow to your feet. This is tested using a Doppler so we can listen to your circulation. It is important to check blood flow as a reduced circulation may lead to a delay in healing if you have any cuts on your feet, which could lead to an increased risk of infection.
