AB Just  as  surface  area  measurement  can  provide  information  on  the  rate  of  wound  healing,  observation  and  examination  of  the  periwound  skin  may  provide  the  clinician  with  information  about  circulatory  and  neurological  status.  For  example,  loss  of  hair  over  the  toes  or  leg  may  suggest  inadequate  perfusion.  Similarly,  a  diminished  perception  of  light  touch  over  the  bottom  of  the  foot  could  indicate  that  an  individual  is  at  risk  of  developing  a  plantar  ulcer.
