An Analysis of Plantar Pressure Distribution and Postural Balance Parameters in Individuals With Diabetic Foot Diagnosis

NCT07084922 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Summary

This study aims to investigate the relationship between plantar pressure distribution and postural balance in individuals diagnosed with diabetic foot. Diabetic foot is a common and serious complication of diabetes that increases the risk of foot ulcers and falls. Due to nerve damage and changes in walking biomechanics, individuals with diabetic foot may experience abnormal pressure on the soles of their feet and poor balance.

The study includes 32 participants aged 40-65 years who have been clinically diagnosed with diabetic foot (Stage 0 or 1 according to the Meggitt-Wagner classification). Participants undergo plantar pressure assessment using a pedobarographic system and balance testing using a Wii Balance Board system under different standing conditions (eyes open/closed, single/double leg stance). The study aims to identify high-risk plantar regions and impaired balance patterns to guide early interventions, reduce ulcer risk, and prevent falls.
