About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study aims to investigate the relationship between plantar pressure distribution and postural balance in individuals diagnosed with diabetic foot. Diabetic foot is a common and serious complication of diabetes that increases the risk of foot ulcers and falls. Due to nerve damage and changes in walking biomechanics, individuals with diabetic foot may experience abnormal pressure on the soles of their feet and poor balance.

The study includes 32 participants aged 40-65 years who have been clinically diagnosed with diabetic foot (Stage 0 or 1 according to the Meggitt-Wagner classification). Participants undergo plantar pressure assessment using a pedobarographic system and balance testing using a Wii Balance Board system under different standing conditions (eyes open/closed, single/double leg stance). The study aims to identify high-risk plantar regions and impaired balance patterns to guide early interventions, reduce ulcer risk, and prevent falls.
Treatments tested
- No interventions. This is an observational study where participants undergo assessments of plantar pressure and postural balance without any treatment or intervention.
