Understanding and Managing Peripheral Neuropathy, Charcot Foot Syndrome, and Lower Limb Wounds Through Effective Orthotic Care Programs

Peripheral neuropathy, Charcot foot syndrome, and chronic lower limb wounds rarely occur in isolation — one condition often sets the stage for the next, creating a destructive cycle that can lead to ulceration, infection, and amputation.

With more than 20 million Americans affected by peripheral neuropathy and diabetic foot complications driving the majority of non-traumatic lower limb amputations in the U.S., clinicians need a clear framework for recognizing, staging, and treating these interconnected conditions before they progress.

This clinical white paper breaks down the physiology, staging, and orthotic treatment strategies that support better outcomes across the full lifespan of care.

Why This White Paper Matters

Peripheral neuropathy, Charcot foot syndrome, and chronic lower limb wounds rarely occur in isolation. One condition often leads to the next, creating a destructive cycle that can result in ulceration, infection, and amputation.

With more than 20 million Americans affected by peripheral neuropathy and diabetic foot complications remaining the leading cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputations in the United States, clinicians need practical guidance for recognizing and managing these interconnected conditions before they progress.

This white paper provides a clear clinical framework for understanding disease progression and implementing orthotic treatment strategies throughout every stage of care.
