ABSTRACT
The authors report on a 3-year prospective program that included foot-health education and an initial assessment of foot problems in an older population. The program represents a cooperative effort by the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging and the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine to enhance the quality of life of older citizens. The results show that foot problems are prevalent among older patients. The program also refined a protocol that can be applied in other settings.
