VITA BEACH ® and diabetic foot
Therapeutic effect of application in patients with diabetes:
- around 15 % patients may expect the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers
- diabetic foot ulcers - increased specific pathology and mortality
- unhealed ulcers - amputation(s) !
- 20-50% of patients die within three years following the 1st amputation
- extraordinary health effort and cost for everyone
PREVENTIVE !
By walking on VITA BEACH®, all foot and ankle joints get mobilized and this significantly reduces the rate of occurrence of all pathological conditions caused by reduced mobility of foot joints ...
(it has been scientifically* proved that the reduced mobility of foot joints affects the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers!)

» It positively affects somatosensoric proprio- and extero-ceptive structures of the foot, enhancing the posture of the body (it improves postural control – balance of the body).
»The main regulatory mechanisms of postural control act primarily through the ankle joint!
- SCIENTIFIC PROOFS OF EFFICIENCY – 1st STUDY
- Prospective (pilot) study involving 15 patients with diabetes type II has indicated a significant increase of diameter and surface a.a. tibialis antt. and postt., as measured by Doppler sonography after (only) 10 days (3x a day per 10 minutes) of walking on VITA BEACH®!
- (the study has been made at the Clinic for Internal Medicine of the Clinical Hospital Center of Rijeka, by professor Ž. Crnčević, PhD and associates. The study is about to be published to the scientific community!)
