Workshop: Pressure Mapping and Analysis
Shoe pressure monitoring is an evidence based method to improve therapeutic footwear and, through footwear modification guided by pressure monitoring, to lower the risk for foot ulcer recurrence in diabetes.
The principles and applications of barefoot and in-shoe pressure monitoring will be discussed in this interactive workshop. Also requirements for use and implementation will be discussed.
