Abstract
The high prevalence of foot problems in older adults necessitates preventative foot self-care. This feasibility study evaluated a foot care self-management program on community-dwelling older adults without diabetes. Implementation of best practices may protect foot health, preserve function and mobility, and extend older adults' healthy, active years of life.
