This video covers: UNDERSTANDING DIABETIC FOOT Three pathological pillars (Peripheral Neuropathy, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Infection risk) Sensory, Motor & Autonomic Neuropathy Why diabetic foot examination matters Wagner Classification (Grade 0-5) FIVE COMPONENTS OF EXAMINATION 1. INSPECTION General inspection (Diabetic stigmata, Body habitus) Skin changes (Color, Texture, Hair distribution) Nail changes (Ingrown toenails, Fungal nails) Deformities (Claw toes, Hammer toes, Charcot foot) Callus distribution Interdigital spaces Gangrene 2. PALPATION Temperature assessment (Toes → Midfoot → Ankle → Calf) Edema assessment (Pitting over medial malleolus) 3. NEUROLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Protective sensation (10g Monofilament test) Light touch (Cotton wool) Vibration sense (Tuning fork) Proprioception (Joint position sense) Motor assessment (Dorsiflexion, Plantarflexion, Toe movements) Reflexes (Ankle jerk, Knee jerk) 4. VASCULAR ASSESSMENT Peripheral pulses (Dorsalis pedis, Posterior tibial, Popliteal, Femoral) Capillary refill time 5. FOOTWEAR EXAMINATION External inspection (Type, Size, Sole wear pattern) Internal inspection (Rough seams, Foreign bodies) Insole examination Perfect for Nigerian medical students preparing for: ✓ MDCN Professional Examinations ✓ OSCE Clinical Skills Assessment ✓ Medical School Clinical Rotations ✓ MBBS Final Year Surgery/Internal Medicine Examinations 📌 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction 00:34 Pathophysiology of Diabetic Foot 00:51 Peripheral Neuropathy (Sensory, Motor, Autonomic) 01:33 Peripheral Arterial Disease 02:03 Increased Risk of Infection 02:29 Why Diabetic Foot Examination Matters 03:06 Wagner Classification (Grade 0-5) 03:59 Ulcer vs No Ulcer Scenarios 04:35 Pre-Examination 05:03 Five Components Overview 05:18 Demonstration Begins 06:05 General Inspection 06:47 Foot & Leg Inspection 07:08 Plantar Surface & Interdigital Spaces 07:27 Skin Changes (Color, Texture, Hair) 08:24 Nail Changes 08:46 Deformities 09:10 Callus Distribution 09:33 Gangrene 09:56 Palpation – Temperature Assessment 10:41 Clinical Significance of Temperature Findings 11:13 Edema Assessment 11:39 Neurological Assessment Begins 11:54 Monofilament Test (Protective Sensation) 12:41 Light Touch (Cotton Wool) 13:43 Vibration Sense (Tuning Fork) 14:26 Proprioception (Joint Position Sense) 15:04 Motor Assessment (Dorsiflexion, Plantarflexion) 15:37 Reflexes (Ankle & Knee Jerk) 16:56 Vascular Assessment 17:14 Peripheral Pulses (Dorsalis Pedis, Posterior Tibial, Popliteal) 18:03 Capillary Refill Time 18:21 Footwear Examination 19:32 External & Internal Shoe Inspection 20:05 Sole Wear Pattern 20:41 Summary 20:57 3-5 Minute OSCE Demonstration 🔔 Subscribe for more OSCE preparation videos and clinical examination guides. #OSCE #MDCN #DiabeticFoot #DiabeticFootExamination #NigerianMedicalStudents --- 📚 Jetmav Technologies | Transforming Medical Education in Africa
