Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The purpose of the study was to reveal any abnormal distribution of the static and dynamic plantar pressure in the diabetic patients with advanced neuropathy. Sixteen diabetic patients with advanced neuropathy (Group N) and 16 diabetic patients without advanced neuropathy (Group D) were recruited. Advanced neuropathy was determined by inability to perceive the 5.07 Semmes-Weinstein monofilament at one or more sites in each foot. Static plantar pressure was measured during standing, and dynamic plantar pressure was measured during walking. Static plantar pressure was significantly higher (p<0.05) at the posterior part of bilateral central lateral metatarsal heads, while dynamic plantar pressure …
