Hang tight as we journey into the intricate world of foot strength, diabetes, and what this means for podiatry. Today, we're unearthing the connection between diabetic patient's foot strength and the risk of ulceration with Matt Dilnot, a Podiatrist at Melbourne Foot Clinic and Clinical Educator at La Trobe University. Matt's astute insights from research in this area crack open neuropathy and motor control issues. This is about the physiological response which leads to the weakening of the intrinsic foot muscles in diabetics.
We're also bridging the gap between musculoskeletal medicine and diabetes care in this thought-provoking dialogue. Matt's take on maintaining mobility and strength around toes for patients with diabetes is for all podiatrists. We also rewind to a study from 1989, illuminating the association between toe deformity and ulceration risk in diabetic patients. So, whether you're a podiatry professional or simply keen to understand how to minimize ulceration risk, this episode holds the keys to unlocking those insights. Ready for a deep dive into the diabetic foot and its strength? Let's get started!
