The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of program for lower extremity pressure ulcer prevention. Contents of this program were "assessment (screenings) with measurement of ABI (Ankle Brachial Index)", "heel elevation", "keeping leg skin temperature" and "vibration of leg". The incidence was 1.2% after this program; this rate was lower than before use. This program will be improved in the future.
