Plantar Load Analysis of Neuropathic and Neuroischaemic Diabetes-Related Foot Ulceration

Conditions: Foot Ulcers, Diabetic, Plantar Foot Pressure, Fat Pad Atrophy, Peripheral Arterial Disease

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: No

Enrollment: 16

Sponsor: The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

Location: Leeds Teaching Hospitals Nhs Trust Leeds England - Midlands and East

Summary

This single-centre observational case-control study investigates how peripheral arterial disease influences plantar load in people with diabetes who have recently healed a plantar foot ulcer. Using in-shoe pressure mapping (Pedar™) and 3D digital image correlation of a plasticine deformable insole (STAMPS system), we will quantify vertical pressure and strain magnitude. Weight-bearing ultrasound will assess plantar fat-pad thickness as a potential corollary for forefoot peak pressure and shear. All procedures are non-invasive and completed in a single \~90-minute visit at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \> 18 years * Confirmed diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2) * Recently healed plantar DFU (forefoot, \
