Diabetic foot ulcers are linked to increased plantar pressure, especially in areas other than the heel. This study highlights how diabetes severity affects foot pressure distribution.

Area of Science:

  • Podiatry
  • Diabetology
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Diabetic foot ulcers are a significant complication of diabetes.
  • Plantar pressure distribution is a key factor in ulcer development.
  • Understanding pressure patterns can aid in prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between maximal plantar pressure (MPP) and diabetic foot ulcers.
  • To analyze pressure distribution across different plantar areas in diabetic patients.
  • To correlate plantar pressure with diabetes symptom severity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study design.
  • Measurement of maximal plantar pressure (MPP) on various foot areas.
  • Inclusion of 328 diabetic patients and 75 healthy controls.

Main Results:

  • Increased MPP was observed in all plantar areas except the heels.
  • Higher MPP correlated with increased diabetes symptom severity.
  • A significant decrease in high-pressure application was noted on heels, metatarsal heads II-IV, and toes.

Conclusions:

  • Altered plantar pressure distribution is associated with diabetic foot complications.
  • Heel and toe pressures may decrease while other areas increase with diabetes severity.
  • Further research into pressure management is warranted for diabetic foot ulcer prevention.
