Treatment of non-healing foot ulcer by conventional therapeutic ultrasound – Report of 2 cases
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiotherapy - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Non healing foot ulcer due to diabetes mellitus is one of the commonly seen reasons for the hospitalization and associated morbidity, with a prevalence of about 14.3% in India. Two patients with chronic non-healing foot ulcers were treated in a self-own physiotherapy clinic on Out Patient (OPD) basis. Non-contact low frequency Ultrasound (NCLU) is commonly used as an adjunct to the standard wound care. However, non-availability and costly NCLU US machine precludes the physiotherapist from using this useful therapy as an adjunct to standard care in managing non-healing ulcer. We report use of non-NCLU therapeutic ultrasound in 2 cases to effectively manage the chronic non-healing ulcer.
