, tellingFeaturing the latest biomechanics research in the world of Diabetes, this session looked at how smart insoles are helping to reduce the chance of foot ulceration in diabetic neuropathy (they sense if an area is being over-loaded and send a message to your watch, telling you to move) Prediction of plantar pressure based on Shore hardness and range of motion in people with diabetes and diabetic peripheral neuropathy and how Podiatrists in Malta are using Digital Foot Technology in Ulcer Prevention and Re-ulceration.
