Characterizations of skin breakdown: lesions and ulcers

Group	Lesions by Group and Location on Foot (13 lesions in 12 participants)
Group	Total No. of Lesions	No. of Participants With a Lesion	No. on WB Surface of Foot	No. on NWB Surface of Foot
WB	7	7	2	5
NWB	6	5	0	6

	Ulcers by Group and Location on Foot (4 ulcers on 3 participants)
Group	Total No. of Ulcers/ Participants	No. of Participants With an Ulcer	No. on WB Surface of Foot	No. on NWB Surface of Foot

WB	1	1	1	0
NWB	3	2	3	0

NOTE. All lesions were superficial (ie, not full thickness wound) (2–5mm), except for 3 superficial scratches. Average time to heal was 8.8±7.2 days. Average size of the 4 ulcers was 12.5×16×2-mm deep. Average time to heal was 20.7±15.8 days except for 1 ulcer, which was not healed at the end of the intervention. The data are for descriptive purposes, because the study was not powered to detect differences in lesions or ulcers between groups.
