Off loading of a wound is done to distribute the weight and relieve pressure to allow the wound to heal, especially for diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers. Total contact casting is one of the many offloading techniques, where a cast is applied on the lower leg with a specific technique. Other offloading devices include walkers, shoes, orthotics, felted foam.
