Abstract
Diabetic ulcers can lead to infection and amputation. Using insole can help to reduce and prevent foot ulceration and amputation in a diabetic patient. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of wearing an insole with different density on standing and walking plantar pressure distribution. Methods: A group of 10 diabetic patients participated in this one-grouped before-after trial. Plantar pressure distribution was measured during walking and standing. Repeated Measure was used to test differences. Results: Repeated measure test showed that use of insole decreased foot pressure while walking significantly ( ). Pairwise comparison showed that wearing shoe insole with shore 30 decreased pressure compared to wearing shoe insole with shore 50 ( ) and walking without insole respectively ( ). Conclusion: The insole has more effect on plantar pressure during walking than standing, it
