Walking after foot surgery: can pressure patterns predict who needs extra help?
NCT ID NCT04823169
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
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.
