For
The Quality |
|
|
A comprehensive prevention program has been developed at the Bureau of Primary Health Care that can dramatically reduce lower extremity amputations in individuals with diabetes mellitus, Hansen's disease, or any condition that results in loss of protective sensation in the feet.
The L.E.A.P. Program consists of five relatively simple activities:
- Annual foot screening
- Patient education
- Daily self inspection of the foot
- Appropriate footwear selection
- Management of simple foot problems
