Plantar Pressure Distribution in Patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and a First-Ray Amputation.

CONCLUSIONS: Plantar pressures and pressure-time integrals seem to be significantly higher in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and a first-ray amputation compared with those with diabetic neuropathy and an intact foot. Routine plantar pressure screening, orthotic prescription, and education should be recommended in patients with a first-ray amputation. PMID: 29932753 [PubMed - in process]
