Design and biomechanical function of indoor-specific versus regular custom-made footwear for people with diabetes at high risk of foot ulceration
Background
Custom-made footwear designed specifically for indoor use increases footwear adherence in people with diabetes at high ulcer risk. The design and biomechanical requirements of such footwear are important if they are to safely replace regular custom-made footwear for indoor use. We aimed to compare indoor-specific versus regular custom-made footwear for design characteristics and biomechanical function.
Methods
Indoor-specific pressure-optimized custom-made footwear (i.e. lower weight, easier to don and doff, more comfortable and breathable materials) was provided to 36 participants with diabetes, neuropathy, and a recently healed plantar foot ulcer or amputation, who already had regular pressure-optimized custom-made footwear. Both footwear types were assessed for their shoe design features and compared using Cohen's Kappa and percentage agreement. In-shoe plantar pressures were measured during walking in both footwear types, from which multiple (center-of-)pressure parameters were calculated and compared using paired t-tests and statistical parametric mapping.
Findings
Of the 36 participants, a total 132 shoes, 66 per footwear type, were analyzed. Cohen's Kappa ranged from −0.17 to 0.72 for different design features and percentage agreement from 45 % to 97 %. Outcomes for all peak pressure parameters were statistically non-significantly higher (0–3 %, P>0.05) in the indoor-specific compared to regular footwear. Center-of-pressure parameters were also not significantly different.
Interpretation
No statistically significant or clinically relevant differences were found in biomechanical functions between indoor-specific and regular custom-made footwear, despite differences found in footwear design. Indoor-specific footwear is thus a biomechanically safe alternative to regular custom-made footwear for use indoors in people with diabetes at high ulcer risk.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
