Het toepassen van groeifactoren bij de behandeling van de diabetische voet heeft als doel de wondgenezing te versnellen. Door te weinig informatie over het toepassen van PRP bij de behandeling van de diabetische voet, is het nog onduidelijk of deze behandeling effectief en efficiënt genoeg blijkt. Hierdoor …

Background. Barefoot plantar pressure measurements are routinely used in the risk evaluation for ulceration in diabetic patients with neuropathy. The aim was to compare three step-protocols commonly used for pressure assessment in these patients. Methods. Dynamic barefoot plantar pressures were measured …

Elevated plantar foot pressures during gait in diabetic patients with neuropathy have been suggested to result, among other factors, from the distal displacement of sub-metatarsal head (MTH) fat-pad cushions caused by to claw/hammer toe deformity. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess …

Objective. In this study an experimental set-up for measuring skin microvascular responses of the footsole to changes in externally applied pressure was analysed. Design. A clinical study. Skin microvascular blood flow was measured in healthy volunteers, during and after external mechanical pressure …
