Leprosy: foot care
This boy is performing an exercise for a dropped foot. He has wrapped a cloth under the foot which he is using to pull it upwards, thereby stretching the calf muscles. This exercise prevents contracture of the calf muscles and fixed inversion deformity. The cloth should be positioned to avoid pressure on any sole wounds.
