Article Synopsis
- - Pressure-relieving footwear is crucial in preventing foot ulcers for individuals with diabetes, and the insole top cover design plays a significant role in this.
- - The study tested eight different insole top cover materials on 20 participants with diabetes to measure peak pressures and walking comfort, finding that 6 mm thick foams generally provided better pressure relief than 3 mm foams.
- - Although some differences in peak pressure were noted, the overall comfort ratings remained consistent across the top covers, suggesting that factors like availability and durability may be more important in choosing the best insole than just pressure relief performance.
