A recent post hoc analysis of a multicenter, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial has revealed encouraging results for the use of bromelain-based enzymatic debridement (BBD) in the management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The findings suggest that BBD may significantly improve wound bed preparation and accelerate healing in patients with chronic diabetic wounds—a very much at-risk population that podiatrists treat regularly.

It’s a physics problem – We live dynamic lives, in turn, we suffer dynamic consequences! In the last installment, we focused on our problematic anatomy. We continue this discussion by looking at what happens when we add the interaction between 2 dissimilar bodies, the foot and the floor, and the introduction of force. The bad news is that our feet collide with the support surface with force, and that support surface returns the favor by hitting the foot in an equal and opposite manner called the ground reactive force.
