Subject: [OANDP-L] diabetic ulceration
Hi All
I have just been presented with 6 diabetic clients, all whom have
individual plantar ulcerations at the usual places, calcaneus, 1st mtp, base
5th met etc. The surgeon would like to provide them with the Aircast
Pneumatic walker with the hope that unloading the plantar area of the foot
will help to speed the process. I have read the reports and it seems to
indicate that this is the case but I'm interested to know if anyone has had
any real life experience with a group of patients (clients ,<g>) like this.
As these pneumatic walkers are fairly expensive wholesale I don't want to
provide 6 and then find that the results are only mediocre.
Any information would be appreciated.
