Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A transducer has been developed to record the shear or horizontal components of force beneath the sole of the foot. When used with a vertical force transducer it has enabled a comprehensive analysis of the mechanical forces acting beneath the foot when walking in various types of footwear. Considerable differences have been recorded between the footwear. Particularly low forces are present in a plaster cast and to a lesser extent with Plastazote insoles. The possible application of these findings to the management of ulceration of the sole of the foot in diabetes mellitus and leprosy is discussed. |
