Materials and methods: in a quantitative pre experimental one group pre-test post test design 75 diabetic ulcer foot clients who met the sampling criteria were included as sample. Consecutive sampling method was used to select the sample as they report to OPD or admitted as inpatient. Following pre-test Infra-red radiation was applied for 10 days and the post test was done seventh and tenth day. Result: The pre test mean and standard deviation were 51.5067 and 4.21828 respectively and the post test mean and standard deviation were 20.32 and 3.673 respectively. The” t” value was 68.352.
