Introduction Foot ulceration is a multifactorial complication of diabetes. Therapeutic insoles and footwear are frequently used to reduce elevated tissue pressures associated with risk foot ulceration. A novel protocol using in-shoe pressure measurement technology provide an instant optimised insole house shoe solution has been developed, the aim reducing Aim This study aims assess feasibility conducting multicentre randomised controlled trial compare effectiveness standard for people...
Abstract Introduction People with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and limited joint mobility syndrome (LJMS) can experience increased forefoot peak plantar pressures (PPPs), a known risk factor for ulceration. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ankle 1st metatarsophalangeal (MTP) mobilisations home‐based stretches in people DPN improve range motion (ROM) reduce PPPs. Design methods Sixty‐one (IWGDF 2), were randomly assigned 6‐week programme 1 st MTP ( n = 31) or standard...
