An intelligent insole system with personalised digital feedback reduces foot pressures during daily life: an 18-month randomised controlled trial

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 →
