Gait analysis and orthotic correction to prevent diabetic foot ulcers and amputations

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Noraxon myoRESEARCH Software for gait analysis and orthotic correction in patients with a history of diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to identify abnormal gait patterns and peak foot pressures that contribute to ulceration. Participants will receive customized orthotic devices based on their gait analysis results, with the goal of reducing the risk of re-ulceration and subsequent amputations. The study combines quantitative and qualitative data to assess improvements in gait and foot health.
