Background Diabetic patients at high risk for foot ulceration are often prescribed with custom-made therapeutic footwear. However, the evidence base to support the use of this footwear for ulcer prevention is still meagre [1]. The lack of offloading efficacy may play a role in this. In-shoe plantar pressure assessment is a valuable tool for evaluating footwear and guiding modifications to optim...

Background: Patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) usually have a poor quality of life (QoL) and self-efficacy, which is affected by many risk factors. However, the role psychological resilience in QoL self-efficacy DFU patients has remained unclear.

D iabetic foot ulcers burden the U.S. health care system with an annual cost of approximately $6 billion (1). Based on the mechanical etiology of diabetic foot lesions, investigators tried to establish a relationship between ulcer occurrence and plantar pressures. Mostly, peak pressure has been chosen as an ulcer predictor. However, previous studies have yielded only moderate correlations betwe...
