The mobile foot helps you adapt to certian ground surfaces. The foot is a ridgid leaver that propels the body forward. The foot absorbs most of the shock your body receives while you are on your feet. That is 3,650,000 times a year or approximately 292,000,000 in a life time. Diabetics have a special need to care for their feet.
Diabetics develop circulatory problems in the lower extremities.
The nerves in the feet can be affected. Leading to reduced sensitivity to pain, discomfort, heat or cold. When ulcers and infections occur they are not detected quickly. Therefore prevention is paramount. Discomfort, pain, or dysfunction ultimately indicate that the feet are not functioning correctly.
