    Abstract
    Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are deep tissue lesions associated with ischaemic, neuropathic, or combined neuroischaemic abnormalities and are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Of concern is that DFUs affect multiple areas of a person's functioning, including both physical and psychological distress. For example, inactivity due to a DFU can cause feelings of frustration, anger and guilt in patients. This distress has the potential to impair the immune response as well as impacting the quality of life (QoL).Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are deep tissue lesions associated with ischaemic, neuropathic, or combined neuroischaemic abnormalities and are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.
