Excellent work from our Mancunian colleagues. Highlights •An insole system continuously monitors daily plantar pressure for 18 months.•Personalised pressure feedback reduces foot pressure in feet at high-risk of ulcers.•Pressure feedback induced a learning response. Abstract Aims High plantar pressure is a major risk factor in the development of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and recent evidence... Continue Reading →
A novel concept for low-cost non-electronic detection of overloading in the foot during activities of daily living @staffsbiomech #smartinsole
Important work published in Royal Society Open Science from our colleagues Chatzistergos and Chockalingham - The Pride of Staffordshire. Imagine a non-electronic insole that could have a tunable threshold to detect changes in repetitive stresses. Here is a smart insole that's smart by design! Identifying areas in the sole of the foot which are routinely... Continue Reading →
