Abnormal Plantar Pressure in Patients With Diabetes

The abnormal plantar pressure distribution (APD) plays a key role in the formation of plantar calluses which are responsible for diabetic foot ulcer. The knowledge of APD is necessary to plan proper prevention in the group of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Medical records from previous patients' visits of non-ulcer patients with diabetes were retrospectively analysed. The relationship between APD, obtained during a pedobarographic test as a semi-quantitative assessment with colourful print analysis, and neuropathy, gender, age and BMI was searched.
