OBJECTIVE: To investigate and compare the influence of a previous history of foot ulcers on
plantar pressure variables during gait of patients with diabetic neuropathy. INTRODUCTION …

Aims Elevated dynamic plantar pressures are a consistent finding in diabetes patients with
peripheral neuropathy with implications for plantar foot ulceration. This meta-analysis aimed …

Background Increasing prevalence of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and subsequent foot
amputation in persons with type 2 diabetic neuropathy is a well known fact. The present …

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 …

Background Diabetic foot ulceration is a preventable long-term complication of diabetes. In
the present study, peak plantar pressures (PPP) and other characteristics were assessed in …

BACKGROUND: Barefoot plantar pressure measurements are routinely used in the risk
evaluation for ulceration in diabetic patients with neuropathy. The aim was to compare three …

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 …

Background and Purpose Patients with diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy are at
high risk for plantar skin breakdown due to unnoticed plantar stresses during walking. The …

Aims To evaluate the distribution of plantar pressure during walking on a level gradient in
patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus without any microvascular and macrovascular …

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