Aims We prospectively examined the relationship between site-specific peak plantar
pressure (PPP) and ulcer risk. Researchers have previously reported associations between …

Objective High plantar pressures are implicated in the development of diabetes-related foot
ulcers. Whether plantar pressures remain high in patients with chronic diabetes-related foot …

OBJECTIVE—Peak plantar pressures (PPPs) have been studied extensively as a
contributing factor to skin breakdown, especially in the forefoot where most plantar …

OBJECTIVE—To investigate the relationship among plantar foot pressure, plantar
subcutaneous tissue thickness, severity of neuropathy (vibration perception threshold [VPT]) …

OBJECTIVE The significance of plantar pressure studies in detecting sites of plantar
ulceration in diabetic patients was investigated. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A …

OBJECTIVE High plantar foot pressures in association with peripheral neuropathy have
been ascertained to be important risk factors for ulceration in the diabetic foot. Most studies …

Background: Clinical recommendations for the prevention and healing of diabetic foot ulcers
(DFUs) are somewhat clear. However, assessment and quantification of the mechanical …

Objective Elevated dynamic plantar foot pressures significantly increase the risk of foot
ulceration in diabetes mellitus. The aim was to determine which factors predict plantar …

INTRODUCTION. To evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic plantar pressure assessment to
determine patients at high risk for neuropathic ulceration. In choosing the cut point, we …

OBJECTIVE—We have previously demonstrated that high plantar pressures can predict foot
ulceration in diabetic patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate both the …
