The pilot study aimed to explore the effects of an educational intervention on patients’ foot self-care knowledge, self-efficacy, and behaviors in adult patients with type 2 diabetes at low risk for foot ulceration. The intervention consisted of three sessions and was given over a 3-week period. A total of 70 eligible consenting participants were recruited for this pilot study. Fifty-six participants completed the study. The outcomes were assessed at pretest, following the first two sessions, and 3-month follow-up. The findings indicated that the foot self-care educational intervention was effective in improving foot self-care knowledge, self-efficacy and behaviors in adult patients with type 2 diabetes at low risk for foot ulceration. The findings support the effects of the intervention. Future research should evaluate its efficacy using a randomized clinical trial design, and a large sample of patients with type 2 diabetes at low risk for foot ulcerations.

Foot Problems

Foot planter pressure is the area that is between the foot and the surface during daily life activities and other activities. It can help to solve the problems of such disease like gait, diabetes and foot ulceration. It also plays the main role in the patients who are at the risk of variety of foot problems. This paper is about to know the brief discussion on foot related problems. In this article we also discuss the types of foot planter pressure measurement and its future technology. Foot planter system is the system which is very helpful to the patients of foot problems. This system is not only for the patients of foot problems but also used in sports and our daily life. Future applications of the planter pressure to improve in design and more comfortable. High plantar pressures have been shown to be a key risk factor for foot ulceration in people with diabetes. Patients are generally prescribed insoles designed to reduce pressure. New technologies like plantar pressure measurement devices and 3D foot scanners have the potential to improve insole design. Still, it is not clear to what such technologies are currently using by physicians. After that, there has been previous research designed to understand how best to use technology to improve insole design for patients with diabetes.
