Abstract |
This paper presents patients with diabetes, suffering from peripheral neuropathy are at high risk of developing diabetic foot. The foot ulcerations caused mainly by high peak plantar pressures. In diabetic patients who had the diabetic for a long time, the nerves of foot get affected and cause various symptoms of nerve damage. In order to reduce and to avoid the foot ulcerations pre scanning of foot pressure was frequently measured by using FSR sensor. With the help of Arduino controller we can get the accurate output value. |
