Workshop 1
Diabetic Foot Management: From Assessment to Intervention
Venue: Hall A Main Auditorium
Diabetic foot complications are a major cause of morbidity, disability, infection, hospitalisation
and lower-limb amputation. Early identification of risk factors, comprehensive foot assessment
and timely multidisciplinary intervention can significantly reduce complications and improve
functional outcomes.
This hands-on, clinically oriented pre-conference workshop is designed to provide
participants with a practical understanding of the evaluation and management of diabetic foot
problems, with particular emphasis on prevention of complications, ulcer management and limb
preservation.
- Salient Features
- Comprehensive clinical evaluation of the diabetic foot
- Identification and stratification of patients at risk for foot ulceration
- Assessment of neuropathy, vascular status, deformities and pressure areas
- Practical approach to diabetic foot ulcer assessment and classification
- Understanding of bio-mechanical factors and abnormal plantar pressure
- Principles of off-loading and pressure redistribution
- Role of footwear, orthoses and customised interventions
- Evidence-based approaches to wound care and infection prevention
- Recognition of red flags requiring urgent referral and multidisciplinary management
- Practical insights into limb preservation and prevention of amputation
- Interactive case-based discussions and demonstrations
- Opportunities for participants to learn through clinical demonstrations and hands-on sessions
- Who Should Attend?
The workshop is particularly relevant for PM&R physicians, orthopedic surgeons, diabetologists, general physicians, General surgeons, Burns and plastic surgeons and physicians involved in the care of people with diabetes.
