New study aims to find best way to measure foot calluses in diabetes
NCT ID NCT07412561
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares several non-invasive methods to measure foot calluses (plantar hyperkeratosis) in 50 people, half with diabetes and half without. The goal is to find the most reliable technique for assessing callus hardness and stiffness, which could help prevent foot ulcers in diabetes. Participants undergo a single session of pressure, hardness, stiffness, and temperature measurements.
