DIAPRO- the makers of specialized footwear associated with diabetic ulcers, diabetic foot , flat foot, arch foot, calcaneal spurs, plantar fasciitis and other foot problems.
We started our journey about fourteen years back with the concept given to us by some renowned endocrinologists and guided by the writings of Dr. Andrew Boulton namely " The basic concept of a Diabetic shoe for a diabetic patient: : If the plantar pressure at a site of importance, such as a prominent metatarsal head (MTH), is reduced in a given condition, and the prescription shoe is worn consistently by the patient, then the clinical outcome may be improved.
Various studies and research have shown that if the sole of the shoe is made rigid and contoured (rather like a Dutch clog), together with the provision of an appropriate insole/ orthosis (custom attempt to alter the load distribution has been implemented) the plantar pressure reduces up to 60%."
Initially, for the Customized ones, the foot imprint of the patient is taken by means of an instrument called 'Foot Imprinter'. We, at Diapro, after receiving the same, place the same through another instrument & software which in turn gives us the exact pressure zone of the patient's feet.
Based on these result, the insoles are customized and made, very well keeping in mind that a 'diabetic footwear' has to be seamless.
The footwear are mostly hand crafted and made ready keeping in mind the satisfaction and health and condition of our diabetic friend.
Since, in India, the awareness of DIABETIC FOOT is very little, and this sector of manufacturing is not organized, we , with our frugal means, organize "Diabetic foot camps: where ever possible, with the help of doctors, clubs and religious institutions.
