Background: Forty-three percent of all diabetic foot ulcers occur under the medial forefoot due to a medial deviation of elevated pressures and premature forefoot ground contact in neuropathic diabetic patients. A 6-week sensorimotor training period with an unstable shoe construction reduces in-shoe peak pressures and contact times under the medial aspect of the forefoot.
Methods: The study was designed as a Randomised Control Trial with two diabetic groups (one served as intervention group and one as control group) and one non-diabetic intervention group.
Objectives: This randomised, single blinded cohort study was designed to assess the immediate effect of manual fascial manipulation on walking pain and the range of ankle dorsiflexion within the first 4 days after ankle trauma.
Methods: Measurements were taken from 19 subjects, 5 female and 14 male, who presented with grade I-III ankle sprains. Ankle dorsiflexion was photographed in a standardised position and calculated by means of the Dartfish® Advanced Video Analysis Software and SPSS® (version 17) was used to compare the pre- and post-treatment data.
Background: This study was designed to assess the accuracy and repeatability of the Derks Calculation Method in the normal foot during walking.
Methods: Measurements were taken from 25 healthy subjects (age 32.0 ± 12.
Objectives: This study was designed to assess the repeatability of the Emed® ST2 system and identify the range of pressure values observed in the normal foot.
Methods: Measurements were taken from twenty-three healthy subjects, 14 females and 9 males, on two occasions 7 days apart. Begin of contact (BC), end of contact (EC), contact time (CT), peak pressure (PP), instant of peak pressure (IPP), contact area (CA) and pressure-time integral (PTI) were recorded.
