Summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the diagnostic performance, reproducibility, and agreement of several non-invasive instrumental methods for assessing plantar hyperkeratosis hardness in healthy subjects and patients with diabetes mellitus without active foot ulceration.

Participants will be evaluated in a single study session using plantar pressure platform analysis, durometer measurements, ultrasound elastography, and infrared thermography. The study seeks to identify the most reliable and discriminative methods for clinical and preventive assessment of plantar hyperkeratosis, particularly in populations at risk for diabetic foot complications.

Instrumental Assessment of Plantar Hyperkeratosis

Standardized, non-invasive diagnostic assessment of plantar hyperkeratosis performed in a single session, including plantar pressure analysis (pressure platform), superficial hardness measurement (durometer, Shore A scale), tissue stiffness evaluation (ultrasound elastography), and surface temperature analysis (infrared thermography).
