Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Foot problems are common in elders, stemming from age-related podiatric mechanical problems or disease-induced pathology. Common mechanical problems include hammertoe, arthritis, bunions, and metatarsalgia. Disease-induced conditions include onychomycosis, athlete's foot, plantar warts, gout, and diabetes. Treatment is case-specific and often involves multiple interventions, including lifestyle changes. Prevention and treatment strategies are presented. Patient education on proper foot care is effective.When patients are unable to reach or see their feet, staff assumes responsibility for foot care. |
