Box 5 – 2h. Feet and Footwear Don’t forget to take off the socks and shoes to assess the feet. The feet reveal a great deal about a person. Neglected feet can be a marker of many things including inability to reach feet to care for them, depression, neglect, cognitive impairment… Examine for Moderate or severe bunions Toe / nail deformities Ulcers Loss of position sense (proprioception) Filament test, vibration sensation may be more sensitive but less specific
Box 5 – 2h. Feet and Footwear Muscular: Myopathy / Myositis Skeletal: Arthritis (foot, ankle, knee, hip, back) Deformity altering biomechanics Poor pain control start Tylenol Arthritis 650-1300mg TID straight If still in pain and no CHF or renal dysfunction then consider NSAID Later narcotics (watch for anorexia and weight loss, constipation, delirium) CHF – pedal edema leading to loss of position sense and change in foot mechanics
Box 5 – 2h. Feet and Footwear Footwear Ask to see shoes they were wearing when they fell (if possible) or at least get a description of the shoes. Look for: Poor fit (foot moving in shoe) Lack of support (not laced or buckled) High heels Note: some women develop Achilles tendon shortening with chronic high heel use and have difficulty transitioning to lower shoes Small surface area contact with floor Smooth slippery sole (lack of functional anti-slip surface by design or if worn out)
