Wheelchair Wounds: How Sitting Can Cause Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Wheelchair Wounds: How Sitting Can Cause Diabetic Foot Ulcers

This episode explores why wheelchair-bound diabetic patients are at high risk for foot ulcers despite not walking. It explains how static pressure, neuropathy, contractures, and poor positioning concentrate force on the heels, lateral toes, and dorsal toes, leading to deep, hard-to-heal wounds.

Dr. G covers common ulcer sites, pressure-mapping thinking, prevention strategies (heel offloading, padded foot plates, AFOs, daily inspection), the role of caregivers, and practical tips for limb salvage and early detection.
