Walking after foot surgery: can pressure patterns predict who needs extra help?
NCT ID NCT04823169
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows people who have had a type of minimally invasive foot surgery called DMMO to relieve painful metatarsalgia. Researchers measure foot pressure while walking at 7 and 30 days after surgery and track daily pain for a month. The goal is to see if early pressure patterns can predict which patients will need a custom foot orthotic three months later.

- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients need extra support after foot surgery, potentially improving recovery and reducing long-term discomfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study with only 4 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is observational and does not test a new treatment.
