Diabetic foot biomechanics and gait dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Diabetic foot complications represent significant morbidity and precede most of the lower extremity amputations performed. Peripheral neuropathy is a frequent complication of diabetes shown to affect gait. Glycosylation of soft tissues can also affect gait. The purpose of this review article is to highlight the changes in gait for persons with diabetes and highlight the effects of gl...
متن کاملFoot type biomechanics in diabetic and not diabetic subjects
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the role of foot morphology with respect to diabetes and peripheral neuropathy in altering foot kinematics, kinetics and plantar pressure (PP) during gait. Materials and methods Simultaneous 3-dimensional multisegment foot kinematics [1], kinetics and PP [2] of healthy and diabetic subjects with different type of foot were determined. 120 feet...
متن کاملThe Biomechanics of the Diabetic Foot
The importance of the physician’s role in examining and assessing the diabetic foot is hard to overstate.1-2 Fifteen percent of the 16 million diabetic patients in the United States will develop foot ulcers.3,4 The diabetic foot is responsible for more than half of the 67,000 annual non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in the developed world.5 Lower extremity amputation is 15 times more li...
متن کاملDynamic barefoot plantar pressure in gait and foot type biomechanics
Song et al demonstrated that healthy subjects with planus and neutral foot type exhibited a distinguishable foot posture and dynamic foot function [1]. However, such a relationship has not been demonstrated in a large sample study. Foot structure was categorized into one of three foot types (cavus, neutral, and planus) based on the standing arch height index (AHI) in 1,054 incoming cadets at th...
متن کاملPreservation of gait biomechanics during offloading treatment of diabetic foot ulcers
Background Gold standard for the management of diabetic foot neuropathic ulcers is the irremovable total contact cast, however evidence of equal clinical effectiveness was proved for the removable walker OPTIMA DIAB [1]. Priority of this healing treatment is the offloading of the ulcerated foot area; however, the healing process may last for months, and eventual changes in gait biomechanics may...
