Determinants of plantar pressures in the diabetic foot

Journal of Diabetes and its Complications, 2002
The aim of this study was to determine, by the use of regression analysis, the factors that are associated with the increased plantar pressure in the diabetic foot. In-shoe plantar pressure measurements using the Novel Pedar were carried out on 50 subjects with diabetes.

Foot pressure differences in men and women

Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2010
Women and men are anatomically and physiologically different in a number of ways. Anthropometric studies have shown considerable differences in the foot bones of both genders. These differences could potentially mean different foot pressures in men and women.The aim of our study was to investigate any potential foot pressure differences between males ...

The effect of foot type on the foot morphology and foot pressure of obese children

Footwear Science, 2017
Previous study showed that obese children displayed flatter feet compared to their normal-weighted counterparts (Riddiford-Harland, Steele, & Storlien, 2000).

AN OVERVIEW OF FOOT PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 1993
Pressure measurement systems are increasingly important for the clinician in the 1990s; however, choosing the right device is still not an easy task. This article, an overview of current technologies, focuses on the basic principles of new systems and clarifies technical specifications but does not judge specific brands.

Calibration of optical foot pressure systems

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1997
OPTICAL FOOT pressure measuring systems (pedobarographs) are based on a technique developed by Chodera (CHODERA, 1957), and have been used to assist in the assessment of a wide range of foot abnormalities (BETTS et al., 1991). In these systems, a white rubber, plastic or photographic paper foil is placed on top of a glass plate.

Occlusion and center of foot pressure variation: Is there a relationship?

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1996
The influences of head and body posture on the mandibular rest position, the range of functional movements, and the initial tooth contact have been documented. In this investigation, the modifications of the position of the center of foot pressure during natural standing were studied in 30 women.

Foot Deformity and Pressure Management in the Diabetic Foot

2015
Complications of diabetes such as neuropathy, tissue glycosylation, Charcot neuropathic osteoarthropathy and minor foot amputations all cause changes in the normal architecture and biomechanics of the foot. Deformity leads to areas of abnormal pressure load and the peak pressures at these points can be in excess of 1,000 kPa.

Analysis of foot pressure waveforms

Images of the Twenty-First Century. Proceedings of the Annual International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2003
A portable data acquisition system using pressure sensors, built to measure pressures between bony prominences of each foot and the shoe, is described. Data acquisition algorithms for extracting peak pressure, area under the curve, heel strike to pushoff time, and center of pressure are discussed.

Foot pressure patterns during gait

Journal of Biomedical Engineering, 1985
Peak pressure and temporal parameters of foot function were determined in 21 men and 11 women; few differences between men and women in any of the parameters were observed, either when walking barefoot or when wearing shoes. However, significant differences were observed when barefoot and shod walking were compared.

POSTURE AND THE ARTERIAL PRESSURE IN THE ISCHAEMIC FOOT

Age and Ageing, 1983
Systolic blood pressures were measured at the ankle by Doppler ultrasound sphygmomanometry in a series of elderly patients. Twenty-four limbs were affected by severe occlusive arterial disease and in 15 limbs there was no good evidence of significant peripheral vascular insufficiency.
