Just like the real estate adage “location, location, location,” I believe something similar can be said about working with electronic medical records (EMR): “templates, templates, templates.” It’s always astounding to me how many physicians say that their medical records take so long to finish. I agree that documenting the visits with your patients is tedious, and can be very time-consuming, but I find taking some time on the front end, can drastically reduce how much time it takes to complete medical records.

Pes planus, one of the most common foot deformities, includes the loss of the medial arch, misalignment of the rearfoot, and abduction of the forefoot, which negatively affects posture and gait. Foot orthosis, which is effective in normalizing the arch and providing stability during walking, is prescribed for the purpose of treatment and correction. Currently, machine learning technology for classifying and diagnosing foot types is being developed, but it has not yet been applied to the prescription of foot orthosis for the treatment and management of pes planus.

Venous ulcers usually present a torpid evolution with a negative impact on patients’ quality of life. In primary care, they account for 2.5% of nursing consultations and their treatment represents high costs for national health systems. These patients usually have a low level of physical activity, with muscle pump dysfunction of the lower limbs, which may improve with increased physical activity.
