Early Detection of Chronicity Foot Lesion in Diabetic Neuropathy Patients

Abstract

This paper describes about the early detection of chronicity foot lesion in diabetic patients by monitoring their foot pressure. Patients with diabetic for long term and poor glycemic control are often leads to peripheral neurovascular disorder. This neurovascular disorder is caused due to Diabetes Triopathy (inadequate levels of growth factors & presence of biofilm). This neurovascular complication results in foot ulceration. 40% to 50% of diabetic patients are affected by foot ulceration. These ulceration leads to lower extremity exclusion even in the absence of critical branch ischemia. So, early detection and prevention of foot ulcer is needed. In this paper, hardware is setup to monitor the foot pressure in diabetic patients continuously with the help of flexi force sensor. For effective screening of foot ulceration, a graphical program environment LABVIEW is used. In this work, foot ulcer is detected earlier. So that it can be prevented earlier. Normalized PeakPressure (KPa)values are listed based on collected performa and had classified the diabetic patients and normal patients.
