💠 Special Focus – Advanced Diabetic Foot Assessment
Protecting Diabetic Feet with Early Screening
Diabetes can silently damage nerves and blood vessels in the feet, leading to serious complications like ulcers, infections, and amputations. At Sarji Superspeciality Hospital, we offer cutting-edge diabetic foot screening.
✅ What Does This Advanced Foot Test Include?
🔹 Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT)
- Measures nerve function.
- Reduced vibration sensation indicates early nerve damage (neuropathy).
🔹 Harris Mat Foot Pressure Analysis
- Identifies abnormal pressure points on the foot that are at risk of ulcer formation.
- Helpful for designing custom footwear.
🔹 Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)
- Compares blood pressure in the arms and ankles to assess blood flow to the legs.
- Low ABI indicates peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
🔹 Toe Brachial Index (TBI)
- Similar to ABI but focuses on small blood vessels in the toes.
- Crucial for advanced diabetes where arteries are calcified.
💡 Why Early Screening Matters:
✅ Prevents serious foot complications like ulcers and infections.
✅ Saves limbs by detecting problems early.
✅ Helps tailor custom footwear and foot care plans.
✅ Greatly improves quality of life for diabetic patients.
