New biomechanical models for cumulative plantar tissue stress assessment in people with diabetes at high risk of foot ulceration #ActAgainstAmputation #Biomechanics #DiabeticFoot

Today, I'd like to discuss an exciting new manuscript from our Dutch colleagues, titled "New biomechanical models for cumulative plantar tissue stress assessment in people with diabetes at high risk of foot ulceration"[1]. This work, which is set to appear in the Journal of Biomechanics, is a significant contribution to our understanding of foot ulceration... Continue Reading →

Development of a prediction model for foot ulcer recurrence in people with diabetes using easy-to-obtain clinical variables #Remission #DiabeticFoot #UlcerFreeDays #Thermometry

Here is important work from our long-time Dutch friends and colleagues. Bottom line: there are now key factors that can be inputted into models to predict (and therefore reduce) risk for reulceration in patients in diabetic foot remission. This is the first multivariate model we've seen include use of personal thermometry. Wouter B Aan de... Continue Reading →

A Model to Predict Outcome of The Diabetic Foot? A Nine State Solution.

Superb work from our SALSAmigos in Soest and Duesseldorf. Understanding that diabetic foot complications are lifetime conditions-- and not just individual events fundamentally changes how we might model outcomes and care. Study of Disease Progression and Relevant Risk Factors in Diabetic Foot Patients Using a Multistate Continuous-Time Markov Chain Model   Alexander Begun1*, Stephan Morbach1,2,... Continue Reading →
