Book Description
The thesis describes an experimental study of the pressure distribution beneath the human forefoot during the stance phase of the gait cycle. An outline of the development of current views on foot function and its investigation is given. The experimental protocol for measuring the pressure beneath selected points of the forefoot using sub-miniature pressure transducers is described and the findings in a group of normal subjects detailed.

Book Description
Foot ulcers occur in approximately 15% of the patients with diabetes mellitus in their lifetime, with a major impact on their quality of life. Many hospital admissions related to diabetes are due to foot ulcers, which can result in prolonged hospital stay and increased morbidity and mortality. The majority of lower limb amputations are performed in patients with diabetes every year (80,000 at least in the USA). Most of the diabetes-related foot problems can be prevented or their severity reduced by early detection and treatment. This book contributes to improved foot care through raised awareness of prevention, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management among healthcare professionals. This comprehensive atlas, now in a second edition, provides: 520 colour photographs, graphs, tables and imaging studies Educational examples taken from genuine case reports A reference guide for identifying patients at risk for foot problems Illustration of common problems such as neuropathic and neuroischaemic ulcers, ischaemia and infection Introduction to new technologies and bioengineered materials used for the treatment of foot ulcers This book will be of interest to diabetologists, endocrinologists, podiatrists, specialist nurses, general practitioners, surgeons and clinical researchers.

Book Description
The revised and updated third edition of the essential guide to the diagnosis and treatment of the diabetic foot The revised third edition of the Atlas of the Diabetic Foot is an updated guide to the information needed for the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot problems with the aim of reducing amputations. In addition to offering the theoretical knowledge, the book is filled with more than 500 color photos from real-life cases. The cases explore a wide-variety of foot issues and the text includes information about differential diagnosis and treatment. The authors—noted experts in the field—describe the epidemiology, pathophysiology and classification of diabetic foot ulcers. In addition, the book highlights the diagnosis of the main risk factors for the diabetic foot, namely diabetic neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease and the anatomic deformities of the lower extremities. The updated third edition, include 5 videos that clearly demonstrate the methods of examination for diabetic neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease. The text incldues methods of callus removal and debridement as well as offloading. In addition, it contains information on how a total contact cast is constructed. This essential resource: Contains a full colour presentation of diabetic foot cases Explains the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot problems in a revised and updated edition Includes a larger format that allows for a better quality images Offers a companion website with high-resolution digital files of photographs of the case studies presented Presents a multidisciplinary approach appropriate for a wide audience foot and diabetic professionals Written for diabetes specialists, endocrinologists and diabetic nurse specialists, podiatrists and podiatry nurse specialists, Atlas of the Diabetic Foot offers the information needed to help with the prevention, diagnosis and management of the diabetic foot.

Book Description
In order to establish the clinical utility of foot progression angle and foot pressure distribution in the assessment and treatment of childhood foot pathology, a reliable set of normal data describing non-pathologic feet is required. The purpose of this work was to describe and compare the normal changes in foot progression angle and foot pressure measurement values with developing age in normal children and also, to determine the side differences. Additionally, the relationship between the foot progression angle and percentage of medial integral were investigated. Based on the findings of this work, it may be concluded that foot progression angle analysis and foot pressure distribution particular percentage of both medial and heel integrals, can provide quantitative and objective information that can be used in the clinical assessment of rehabilitation strategies to detect functional abnormalities and to determine the appropriate treatment.
