U.S., Oct. 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07865208) titled 'Measuring Plantar Pressures in Diabetic Patients With Lateral Forefoot Amputation' on Sept. 26.
Brief Summary: This study aims to understand how pressure is placed on the bottom of the foot when people walk after a lateral forefoot amputation (for example, removal of the 5th toe).
Podiatrists have noticed that people with this type of amputation often develop new foot wounds (ulcers) than other types of foot amputation. By measuring foot pressure during walking, we hope to:
* Identify areas of high pressure ("hotspots")
* Understand walking patterns after amputation
* Identify biomechanical factors related to diabetic ulcers and ...
