Atención a personas de la tercera edad

Senior citizen foot

The feet are responsible for supporting the weight of the body throughout life, so their care is very important. However, many times they do not receive the necessary attention and the consequences begin to be perceived at an advanced age, when manifestations such as pain, discomfort and even movement difficulties arise, which considerably restricts the possibility of having an active and healthy life .

Taking care of your feet and checking them regularly is an important part of your health care, and foot problems are sometimes the first sign of health problems such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, neurological or circulatory disorders.

The most frequent problems that occur in the feet of the elderly and that will be discussed later would be: roughness or calluses, hammer toes, bunions, mycosis of the fingers and sole of the foot.
