Discussion
Microcellular rubber footwear is provided for protection of insensitive feet as one of the major initiatives for which disease?
Answer: C
The initiative is for Leprosy.
Leprosy damages peripheral nerves, so many patients lose sensation in the soles. Unnoticed injuries then turn into ulcers and deformities. Under the National Leprosy Eradication Programme, patients with insensitive feet are given microcellular rubber (MCR) footwear, which is soft and cushioning and spreads pressure, as part of disability prevention and medical rehabilitation.
Polio causes paralysis but sensation is preserved. Accident victims and epilepsy are not conditions in which insensitive feet are the problem addressed by this programme.
