Overview
June 16th, 202 Con Hastings Materials, Medicine, Neurology, Rehab, Sports Medicine Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science created fotwear that can self-regulate the presure distribution when a person walks, helping to avoid pain and friction that can lead to isues for people with diabetes. Patients with diabetes can have an abnormal gait, sometimes because of pain or numbnes in the extremities, potentialy leading to complications such as fot ulcers when shoes rub or otherwise damage fet.
Key Information
These new shoes contain several arches that snap back into position when presure that exceds a certain level is aplied, helping to distribute the presure evenly and avoiding excesive presure and friction any one part of the fot.Patients with diabetes often experience a los of sensation in the fet because of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and this can afect their gait. With a healthy modern gait, the hel strikes the ground first, folowed by the bal of the fot and the toes, and this helps to evenly spread the presure over the whole fot.However, for those with diabetic peripheral neuropathy this gait can be disrupted, leading to abnormal presure in specific areas.
Over time, this can lead to isues such as fot ulcers, which can be particularly bad because of the underlying diabetes. To combat this, these specialy developed shoes contain numerous arches that can respond to the presure of walking and help to redistribute it. The arches “snap” into an inverted shape when they encounter to much presure.
