Using carbon graphite spring plates to treat diabetic ulcerations
Diabetes is renown as the primary disease that contributes to a loss of sensation in the feet. This loss of sensation is called diabetic peripheral neuropathy, abbreviated DPN. DPN is a symmetrical loss of sensation often described as a stocking/glove distribution, affected the feet and to a lesser degree, the hands. The loss of sensation that results from DPN is greater distal to proximal, meaning that the loss of sensation will typically be worse in the toes.
