Keywords:
Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Surgery, Medicine, Quality of lifeAbstract
Diabetes is a major concern as it has serious consequences and tends to widen its realm with each passing year. People suffering from diabetes suffer from various commodities which worsens their condition and most common of these is the development of Diabetic foot ulcers. There have been many strategies in respective fields in order to combat these ulcers but there is still need of a definite Multi-modal approach to achieve maximum benefit for the patients. This is a systematic review which aims to explore the various treatment strategies available for the treatment of Diabetic foot ulcers from the perspective of a rehabilitation team which will combine the available and promising interventions prevalent for the treatment purpose. A total of 15 articles were selected for review purpose on the basis of their quality and the results they showed from different approaches. The treatment strategies could be provided by various professionals like General Surgeons, General Physician, Diabetologists, Physiotherapists, Nursing care, Nutritionists, Care givers, etc. However, the newer modern medicine has a tremendous impact on the overall quality of life of patients with such disorders and have promising effects on foot ulcers especially which is one of the leading causes of deaths of individuals suffering from diabetes. Promotion of rehabilitative measures for such patients which will use expertise of various medical professionals which develop strategic decisions for more such diseases in future.
