Abstract
We describe the results of a 12-week pilot where pressure offloading devices were made available to eligible patients with diabetic foot ulcers being treated in a diabetes management clinic. The novel Offloading Adherence Scale, developed from two previously validated instruments, was used to capture self-reported measures of adherence.
