Mobility After Diabetes
Diabetes can have a devastating impact on lives of individuals and their families. Every year in India several new cases of diabetes are diagnosed.
Around 15-25% of people with diabetes, will develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime and 10.5% of patients may undergo major amputations due to diabetic foot syndrome
The good news is that the complications of diabetes can be prevented by timely, professional and clinical interventions. Ottobock – the Global Leader in mobility solutions - works with medical professionals and people with diabetes to avoid major amputations. If the amputation is un-avoidable, we work to restore the person’s mobility, to help control the disease by promoting regular walking.
