Scientists map foot pressure to predict diabetic falls and ulcers

This study aimed to understand the link between how pressure is distributed on the soles of the feet and a person's balance when they have diabetic foot complications. Researchers measured 32 adults with early-stage diabetic foot using special pressure mats and balance boards under different standing conditions. The goal was to identify patterns that could signal a higher risk of foot ulcers or falls, which could help guide future prevention strategies.
