Index of plantar pressure alters with prolonged diabetes duration

ConclusionsLonger diabetes duration indicates a decreased peak pressure for hallux, and suggests an increased pressure-time integral for metatarsus and heel among diabetes more than 10 years. The reduced pressure of hallux is supposed to transfer to the metatarsus. Age, BMI and VPT were distinct risk factors of abnormal plantar pressure.
