Early identification of potential risk factors for the onset of diabetic foot ulcers are recommended. However, in a Swedish context, there has been no standardised routines to be used in the foot screening procedure. In this study a new standardised routine, the D-Foot, will be tested at the Department of Prosthetics and Orthotics. The usability of the web program will be tested.
The primary research questions are"how do patients with diabetes perceive the foot screening?" and "do the perception differ in the group that was foot screened by the use of the D-Foot compared to the group that was foot screened with conventional methods?"
