of the population, with the highest relative increase in the muscles that cross the ankle joint (Nigg etal.2010). However, this is variable among subjects. This contrasts to an ‘unstable’ shoe that is unsafe to wear because it is ill tting, worn-out or not appropriate for the task being undertaken, for example wearing high heels to run a marathon.
Although the evidence suggests that unstable shoes with built­technologies can lead to a change in ‘venous parameters’ like blood ow in healthy populations (Lerebourg etal.2020), it is important to note that appropriate footwear should be carefully recommended considering the patient’s mobility and balance, and with safety being of paramount importance.
Fit andCondition ofFootwear
The t of footwear is important in helping a person to walk pain free and to allow optimal function during gait. Incorrectly tting shoes have been linked to foot pain and foot disorders (Buldt and Menz2018). There is no international sizing convention for footwear and shoe brands will use anatomical last shapes when making shoes. The last is a 3D model of a human foot that is used to construct a shoe. The last shape depends on the country the shoe is from and on the model of a typical foot from that region of the world. The style and shape of the shoe will then be determined by the footwear pro­ducer and most shoe lines are mass made. It is therefore imperative that patients check shoe t before purchase. See Figure4.5 for help­ful suggestions when choosing footwear.
Patients may also present in footwear that they deem appropriate but are inappropriate, or may be struggling to nd footwear that ts over bandaging. Due to socioeconomic factors, they may have worn­out footwear or even have had to repair shoes themselves. If this is the case and the footwear is putting the patient at risk of falling or non- healing, then referring the patient on to surgical appliances or supplying them with temporary footwear is an option.

Temporary Footwear
It is not uncommon for a patient to go into a temporary shoe, like a Darco healing sandal, during an episode of ulceration, as these better accommodate compression bandaging (Figure 4.6). However, it is

important to remember that these shoes are temporary and should be checked and replaced on a regular basis.
When transitioning a patient from bandaging into compression garments, it is important to ensure that they have a well- tting and appropriate shoe to wear. Consider asking the patient to bring their

shoes and the slippers they would normally wear so that you can assess the t and style to see if any changes need to be made or if new footwear needs to be considered.
Bespoke or Semi-
bespoke Footwear andFootwear Modications
Some patients may have a foot shape or structure that does not t into retail footwear, or they may require footwear modications. Rocker- soled shoes are important for patients with CVI and VLUs, as the rocker sole enables improved ankle movement and thus enhances the action of the CMP (Figure4.7). There are many retail shoes ranges that have rocker soles, but in some cases it may be necessary for a patient to have their shoes modied and have a specialist rocker sole added. There are other modications that can be made to shoes to help improve gait and mobility. This requires assessment with a footwear specialist or podiatrist to ascertain what would be the most appropriate modication given the person’s underlying medical issues and biomechanical function.
Advice andEducation
Patient education on the important features of footwear is essen­tial, as footwear can enhance foot function and enable improved

haemodynamics in the lower limb (Lerebourg etal.2020). Shoes should have a fastening (this could be a lace or Velcro®) that helps to secure the shoe to the foot to enable optimal gait. Asturdy heel counter to hold the heel in place will provide sta­bility in the rear foot during heel strike and a rocker sole will bend where the foot bends. This will enhance sagittal plane movement, aid in CMP function and ooad the forefoot. Suggesting shoes with a wide opening and a removable insole will help provide extra room for oedematous feet or feet in bandaging or compres­sion garments.
Changing footwear can be seen as a lifestyle change and must be considered among other important factors such as cost, purpose and choosing the right shoe for the right activity or occasion. Being aware of these barriers is important, as it will help identify poten­tial issues behind why a patient is reticent to change their footwear and guide in future management. When patients do not wish to change their footwear after being given information on optimal footwear and the reasons why, then they have made an informed choice and this discussion can be revisited later when they may be more open to change.
Foot Orthoses
An orthosis is dened as ‘an appliance to support, align, correct deformity or motion of parts of the body’ (Mills etal.2010). Orthotic provision in general has been reported to help people achieve opti­mal health and QoL, and enable them to work and live independently (Chockalingam etal.2019).
Foot orthoses (Figure 4.7) are appliances that can be inserted into footwear to manage a number of foot and ankle pathologies (Mills etal.2010) and can help to improve symptoms in chronic foot conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (Hennessy etal. 2012). VMPs in the lower limb rely on optimal lower limb function, so foot orthoses should be considered where lower limb function and movement are sub-
Research has reported improvements in pedobarographic examination (the study of pressure acting between the plantar surface of the foot and a supporting surface) when using orthoses (Saggini et al. 2009). Positive changes in biomechanics and the

redistribution of power loads on the plantar surface of the foot were noted. This included greater activation of the external and internal plantar veins when using visco­foot posture in patients with CVI (Saggini etal.2009). Custom foot orthoses have been studied and, again, positive ndings have been reported in terms of improved venous return in the lower limb (López- López etal. 2018). These positive ndings in the biome­chanical parameters, improved venous return and improved activation of the VMP of the foot and calf substantiate the use of orthoses in clinical practice.

REDUCING FALLS RISK
A fall is dened by Public Health England (Oce for Health Improve­ment and Disparities2022) as ‘an event which causes a person to, unintentionally, rest on the ground or lower level and is not a result of a major intrinsic event’. Research has shown that 75–80% of falls where no injury was sustained are not reported (Fleming and Brayne2008) and that there is a stigma associated with falls (Homan etal.2018). This is why asking questions and screening for the risk of falls are so important, as this may help to mitigate the incidence of falls and thus the sequelae of a fall, which can have a negative impact on a patient’s mobility and exacerbate CVD or VLUs in terms of prolonged healing.
Screening andAssessment ofFalls
Screening will help determine if further assessment or onward refer­ral is required. One of the simplest screening approaches is to ask if the patient has fallen in the last 12 months and then enquire about the frequency and nature of the fall(s). Observation of the patient walking is also useful to obtain objective information on how the patient is moving and if they are using walking aids, if these appear appropriate in terms of wear and height, as this may cause instability and possibly result in a fall.
It is reported in the literature that a proportion of patients with
VLUs have reduced ankle ROM (Back etal.1995; Davies etal.2007;
本书版权归John Wiley & Sons Inc.所有

https://t.me/medicina_free
Atkin etal.2016; de Souza etal.2022). Studies have shown that people with decreased ankle exibility fall more often than those with adequate ankle exibility (Menz2021). Long-
term bandaging for VLUs can alter gait by impairing the ankle ROM (Atkin etal.2016). Therefore, patients with VLUs and a restricted ankle joint ROM are more at risk of falls. Injuries resulting from falls can lead to pain and immobility, which will have an impact on uid dynamics in the lower limb and can result in a longer episode of ulceration.
Screening Tools forFalls
There are many validated and reliable mobility screening and assess­ment tools available to the practitioner and these can be used in the home or clinical setting (Table4.5) (Tinetti etal.1986; Podsiadlo and Richardson1991; Bogle Thorbahn and Newton1996).
Falls are complex, and in-depth assessment should be undertaken by a practitioner or a team to ensure the most appropriate interven­tions are in place to help reduce the risk of a fall. Patients who are at high risk of falls or who have a fear of falling should be referred to the appropriate service for assessment.

ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ASPART OFTHE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM
Populations are ageing worldwide. People are living longer and this leads to higher levels of chronic disease (Saxon etal.2014). This will have a direct impact on the numbers within the population who have CVI and VLUs in the future.
The standards of care for long- term management of wounds have been debated within the evidence, consensus documents produced and various recommendations made (Atkin etal.2019). The current trend within the evidence is that VLUs, especially those that are deemed long term, should be escalated to a specialist service or a mul­tidisciplinary team (MDT) (Atkin etal.2019). This notion is associated with the standards of best practice that are based on the UK national diabetic foot ulcer guidelines for MDT referral (Atkin etal.2019). Rec­ommendations for specialty skills to be integrated into best practice include podiatry, endocrinology and nutrition. While these skills within the MDT may help those who have long- term wounds, little attention is paid to addressing the area of management that enhances mobility and VMP function. This is where AHPs who have a musculo­skeletal scope of practice at the core of their skill set can be used to enhance best practices within current and future guidelines.
CONCLUSION
This chapter has examined the important factors that inuence mobility, biomechanical function, gait assessment and management of MSK factors within the population of people who have CVD and VLUs. The evidence elucidates the decreased levels of mobility, CMP dysfunction and physical impairments that are present within this group of patients. It is important to address these underlying MSK issues, which may be inuenced by social or patient- related factors for a positive clinical outcome and may not always be within the scope of practice of wound care nursing. If this is the case, then onward referral is warranted. This ensures that the patient receives thecare they need to address any underlying causes for musculoskel­etal issues in order to enhance mobility, expedite wound healing and prevent the occurrence of a venous leg ulcer in the future.
