The article discusses the importance of taking care of the feet among older people. When a person ages, age-related changes occur in the feet: the muscle start to weaken, the tendons and ligaments loosen and the fat pads begin to lose protective capabilities. There are three distinct aspects of preventive foot health and they are prevention of originating foot issues, therapeutic intervention for foot issues and prevention of the recurrence of foot issues. |
