Abstract:

Poorly fitting footwear has frequently been cited as an etiologic factor in the pathway to diabetic foot ulceration. However, we are unaware of any reports in the medical literature specifically measuring shoe size versus foot size in this high-risk population. We assessed the prevalence of poorly fitting footwear in individuals with and without diabetic foot ulceration. We evaluated the shoe size of 440 consecutive patients (94.1% male; mean ± SD age, 67.2 ± 12.5 years) presenting to an interdisciplinary teaching clinic. Of this population, 58.4% were diagnosed as having diabetes, and 6.8% ha

Abstract:

Diabetic foot ulcer is a common and debilitating complication of diabetes. Often this is preventable by regular screening and addressing risk factors such as regular podiatry, good foot wear and early consultation with health care professionals. General measures such as good glycaemic control, prevention of cardiovascular risk factors and prevention of deformity should be aimed during the early stages of the disease. Diabetic subjects should be encouraged to actively participate in their foot care. Prevention of foot ulcers will reduce the rate of amputation, which is common in diabetic subjec

Abstract:

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. As the number of DM increases, the incidence of diabetic ulcers will also increase. Approximately 14-24% of diabetic foot ulcer patients require amputation with 50% recurrence after three years. This may be due to a lack of knowledge and information in carrying out foot care independently. Most DM patients still think that all they need to do is control their blood glucose levels, so they pay less attention to the condition or cleanliness of their feet, don't wear sandals, and don't cut their nails proper

Ill-fitting shoes may precipitate up to half of all diabetes-related amputations and are often cited as a leading cause of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), with those patients being 5 to 10 times more likely to present wearing improperly fitting shoes. Among patients with prior DFU, those who self-select their shoe wear are at a three-fold risk for reulceration at 3 years versus those patients wearing prescribed shoes. Properly designed and fitted shoes should then address much of this problem, but evidence supporting the benefit of therapeutic shoe programs is inconclusive. The current study, perf

The main causative factors of ulceration are neuropathy, vasculopathy and limited joint mobility.

Abstract:

People with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are commonly prescribed offloading walkers, but inadequate adherence to prescribed use can be a barrier to ulcer healing. This study examined user perspectives of offloading walkers to provide insight on ways to help promote adherence. Participants were randomized to wear: (1) irremovable, (2) removable, or (3) smart removable walkers (smart boot) that provided feedback on adherence and daily walking. Participants completed a 15-item questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Spearman correlations assessed associations between TAM rati

Abstract:

Background: Accurate representation of the insole geometry is crucial for the development and performance evaluation of foot orthoses designed to redistribute plantar pressure, especially for diabetic patients. Methods: Considering the limitations in the type of equipment and space available in clinical practices, this study adopted a simple portable three-dimensional (3-D) desktop scanner to evaluate the 3-D geometry of an orthotic insole and the corresponding deformities after the insole has been worn. The shape of the insole structure along horizontal cross sections is defined with 3-D scan

Four strains of S. aureus and four strains of E. coli were cultured and dropped on Bio-Kil socks and control socks for 0 h, 8 h, and 48 h of incubation. Diluted samples were inoculated and bacterial counts were recorded. Additionally, 31 patients with type 2 diabetes and 31 healthy controls were assigned to wear one Bio-Kil sock on one foot and a control sock on the other for four hours, and then they were told to exchange socks f

The effects of shoe wear, custom-made inserts, patellar tendon-bearing (PTB) braces, and extra-padded PTB braces on load transmission to neuroarthropathic (Charcot) feet of six diabetic patients were assessed. A PTB brace with a free ankle and an extradepth shoe without external modifications was used. Four distinct anatomical regions were evaluated by an in-shoe technique measuring vertical force. The mean peak force transmitted to the entire foot was higher in the affected than in the unaffected extremity barefoot and shod. The mean peak forces under the midfoot were higher for the affected

Abstract:

In the aging society, chronic diseases have become a very common problem. Many elderly people have at least one chronic disease. Most chronic diseases are caused by poor diet and lack of physical activity. As the body ages, chronic diseases will develop. Therefore, it is important to establish a healthy lifestyle. The best way to prevent chronic diseases is to diagnose them early and self-check your health. In terms of self-check, most hospitals provide good testing equipment for the public to use. However, in Taiwan, most elderly people with chronic diseases are not aware of any abnormalities

Background: Exercise reduces chronic complications in individuals with diabetes and peripheral vascular diseases. In clinical practice, the use of air insole may reduce peak plantar pressure (PPP), and risk for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). However, there is no guideline on selecting air insole pressure for effectively reducing PPP. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of different air insole pressure on PPP at different walking durations. Methods: We tested 13 participants using repeated measures study design, including 3 air insole pressures (80, 160, and 240 mm Hg) and 2 wa

Abstract:

Among people with diabetes mellitus (DM), the two common strategies for decreasing peak plantar pressure (PPP) to reduce diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) risks are to modify walking speeds and to change insole materials. This study reviewed the PPP reduction based on various walking speeds and insole materials. The articles were retrieved from four major scientific databases and manual search. We identified 1585 articles, of which 27 articles were selected for full-text analysis. We found that in faster walking speeds, the forefoot PPP was higher (308 kPa) than midfoot (150 kPa) and rearfoot (251 k

Abstract Background: Peripheral neuropathy is the most common chronic complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with an estimated lifetime prevalence exceeding 50%. Loss of cutaneous sensory information from the foot sole is reported to be a critical factor contributing to walking instability, poor balance and falls, in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Although there is a very little evidence in the literature on the effectiveness of microcellular rubber insoles, they may offer a new rehabilitative approach, which promotes self-management by the user, to improve balance
