Summary

In this pilot study, the first objective is to bench test a novel shear reducing insole and compare it to current standard insoles and shoes. The second objective is to study twenty-seven insensate diabetes patients with pre-ulcerative foot callus to examine for changes in spatial temporal gait including gait initiation, risk of falling, static and dynamic balance, and plantar temperature response to walking and consecutive plantar stress in both footwear conditions.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients will be included if they have diabetes and have been referred for diabetic shoes. They will also be insensate with pre-ulcerative plantar callus or previous plantar foot ulcer.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients will be excluded if they are unable to independently walk 100 feet, lower extremity prosthesis user, have active cellulitis, foot ulcer, or Charcot foot.
