Methods: Based on literature review, a four-phased CES has been elaborated: phases 1 and 2 contemplate clinical evaluation (anamnesis and physical evaluation, respectively) with emphasis on feet evaluation and search for soreness risk factors; phase 3 evaluates feet care and phase 4 describes the main guidelines for this care. Results: With the completion of phases 1 and 2, a feet soreness risk rating follows. Phase 3 evaluates feet care with ten questions and phase 4 presents ten educational guidelines for DF prevention. Conclusion: The proposed CES enables the detection and early intervention on foot soreness risk.}, }
