Setting the Anatomical and Morphs-Functional Particularities of the Diabetic Foot Patients Useful when Designing Specific Footwear

Abstract

The study allowed us to establish a set of criteria for rational classification of foot typologies in patients with diabetic based on parameters obtained from the planting footprint analysis. Pathological deviations were determined by comparison with normal foot plantografic parameter values. Thus coefficient previous area in patients with diabetic foot pathology-associated longitudinal flat foot (K1 = 1.24 ± 0.51, RF, K1 = 1.09 ± 0.14 - LF) presents the deviation as both adducted and the abduction of the area and flat foot pathology associated with hallux valgus transverse (K1 = 0.94 ± 0.35, RF, K1 = 0.85 ± 0.83 - LF)- slight deviation in abduction. Transverse arch flattening coefficient and angle of deviation of the big toe associated longitudinal flat foot - K2 = 0.39 ± 0.02, α2 = 8.9 ± 4.5 (RF) K2 = 0.38 ± 0, 01, α2 = 9.2 ± 4.3 (LF) is degree and flat foot hallux valgus associated with cross grades II and III. Longitudinal arch flattening coefficient and the angle of deflection of a flat foot heel longitudinal axis associated - K3 = 1.23 ± 0.62, α3 = -7.4 ± 1.35 (RF), K3 = 1.18 ± 0, 91, α3 = -6.8 ± 1.47 (LF) indicates the deviation degree and valgus. The design of diabetic footwear must be based on a in-depth understanding of the interaction between the footwear design features and the biomechanical characteristics and anatomic-morphs-functional parameters of the foot.
