A diabetic foot assessment is a comprehensive check for nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation (PAD) to prevent ulcers, infections, and amputation, involving visual inspection (skin, nails, deformities), nerve tests (monofilament, vibration), vascular checks (pulses, temperature), and reviewing history and footwear, often recommended annually but more frequently for high-risk patients. It helps categorize risk levels (low, medium, high) to determine follow-up frequency, from yearly to every 1-2 months.
Bioelectrical Impedance Body Fat Analyzer
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle. Therefore, if a person is more muscular, there is a high chance that the person will also have more body water, which leads to lower impedance.
