Description
The maintenance of foot function to be able to walk until the end of life is indispensable for the maintenance of activities of daily living and quality of life, and, therefore, it is key to extending a healthy lifespan in Japan. As the number of community-dwelling elderly people is increasing, there is an increasing need for foot care. In such a situation, nursing/care professionals, who support the elderly, are expected to have sufficient knowledge and practical skills related to foot care. This paper classifies points to be noted about risk management measures in foot care for the community-dwelling elderly.
