UNASSIGNED: @entity3949 is an insidious and long-term complication of this disease. Synergistic treatments and preventive actions are crucial because there are no clear boundaries for determining when health professionals should intervene or what intervention would best avoid the consequences of @entity16 . Until now, most therapies to any @entity6 individual were applied only after the @entity1 's limb was ulcerated or amputated. The loss of muscle and joint functions is recognized as the main cause of plantar overloading. However, if foot and ankle exercises are performed following the early diagnosis of @entity6 , they can enable the @entity1 to maintain sufficient residual function to interact with the environment. This paper summarizes the current knowledge about the @entity85 and biomechanical alterations caused by @entity16 . It also describes the potential benefits of foot and ankle exercises for any @entity6 @entity1 that is not undergoing the plantar @entity1066 process. We concentrate on the prevention of the long-term @entity16 . We also discuss the main strategies and protocols of therapeutic exercises for joints and muscles with deficits, which are applicable to all @entity6 @entity1 with mild to moderate @entity16 . We describe further efforts in exploiting the applicability of assistive technologies to improve the adherence to an exercise program. Following the contemporary trends towards self-monitoring and self-care, we developed a software to monitor and promote personalized exercises with the aim of improving autonomous performance in daily living tasks. Initiatives to prevent the complications of functional @entity6 are highly recommended before it is too late for the @entity1 and there is no longer an opportunity to reverse the tragic consequences of @entity16 progression.
