Summary

This study tested whether custom 3D-printed shoe inserts can reduce pressure on the feet of people with diabetes who are at risk for foot ulcers. Thirty adults wore different types of insoles while walking in a lab, and researchers measured foot pressure and movement. The goal was to see if the new 3D-printed design works better than standard insoles to protect foot health.
