Hi all,

Are there publications about the improvement of the quality of life thanks to podiatric treatments?

Frederic

Thanks

 

Hi, what area of podiatry are you thinking of or are you just looking at all areas in general? Either way there is a fair bit of evidence out there on the subject, I can email you some references if you like?

 

Here's one.

Kusumoto A, Suzuki T, Yoshida H, Kwon J: Intervention study to improve quality of life and health problems of community-living elderly women in Japan by shoe fitting and custom-made insoles. Gerontology, 53:348-356, 2007.

 

Here are a couple for you,

Price, P. Harding, K. (2000). ‘The impact of foot complications on health related quality of life in patients with diabetes’. Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery. 4(1): 45-49

Meijer, J. Trip, T. Jaegers, S. Links, T. Smits, A. Groothoff, J. Eima, W. (2001). ‘Quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulcers’. Disability and Rehabilitation. 23(8): 336-340

Bennett PJ, Patterson C, Dunne MP. (2001). 'Health-related quality of life following podiatric surgery'. J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 91(4):164-73.

Enjoy!

Hi there, I have been in private practice for many years, and would be very interested in contributing towards a study into the improved quality of life for elderly podiatry patients.
