Diagnostic Modeling for Pedal Fat Pad Atrophy

NCT02679651 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2020-07-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that there is a difference in plantar tissue thickness, plantar pressure, and pain score in patients diagnosed with plantar fat pad atrophy compared to healthy, foot-type matched controls. Results will be measured objectively using ultrasound for tissue thickness, optical pedobarograph for plantar pressure, and Manchester foot pain and disability index (MFPDI) for pain score. Furthermore, investigators predict that these results will help establish criteria for fad pad atrophy diagnosis in the clinic as well as determine which patients would receive greatest benefit from fat grafting to the foot.

Conditions

  • Fat Pad Atrophy
  • Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Ultrasound of the foot

An ultrasound will be used to determine the thickness of the fat pad

OTHER

Pedobarograph Measurements

This non-invasive device measures the force and pressure of the foot while standing and walking.

OTHER

Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index

This is a patient completed questionnaire that assesses level of function from the past month specific to foot pain.
