Bruise on heel
(2 discussions)
Hello,
Is there a product or method of padding my heel, so that it is less likely to bruise in a shoe?
I amn a c3-4 quadraplegic with no sensation in the foot.
The reddened or bruised area is a circle with two-thirds of of the circle’s radius on the bottom of the foot.
My concern is that developing a decubitus ulcer will make matters worse.
Thanks.

There are many heel cushion products available. Some of the better brands are Silipos, Bauerfeind and Tulis. Quags are a very decent heel cushion made from polyurethane which has good shock absorption.

I am often suffering from heel bruises. right now I have the worst one I have ever had. I Skateboard alot and the pressure on my heel from jumping down sets of stairs is too much, is there any way I can get some sort of insole or cup that would completely stop this from happening? or am I stuck with heel bruises ?
