Summary
This study tested custom-made insoles for people with diabetic foot to see if they improve balance and walking. Twenty-five participants aged 40 to 65 with early-stage diabetic foot issues were included. The insoles were designed using pressure measurements to offload high-pressure areas. The study measured postural balance and walking efficiency.
