Abstract
Podiatric care is often an ignored aspect of diabetic foot care. Foremost thing in podiatric care is a podiatric table which serves many purposes ranging for clinical examination to procedures but it is quite expansive and very few physicians, at least in developing countries, can afford it. So we designed a very economical and affordable Samadhan Foot Stand which serves effectively as substitute for a podiatric table. Word Samadhan is a Hindi word meaning solution. We offer this as solution to a hard pressed need for an affordable podiatric table, so we named it Samadhan Foot Stand.
