Trial Outcomes & Findings for Abnormal Plantar Pressure in Patients With Diabetes (NCT NCT03426566)

NCT ID: NCT03426566

Last Updated: 2022-05-27

Results Overview

static pedobarographic test with semi-quantitative assessment: number of the patients with abnormal plantar pressure location based on a semi-quantitative method, as static barefoot pedobarographic records with colourful print analysis. The intensity of colour was proportional to the pressure received. Warm colours indicated the greatest pressure, while cold colours indicated the least plantar pressure (starting with red, then yellow, green, and blue)

Participant Flow

Recruitment period: between October 2009 and December 2010 Medical records were obtained from the Diabetic Foot Centre (DFC) in Wroclaw, Poland and covered a period of fifteen months of work.

Patients without previous ulcerations or foot surgery were evaluated.

Unit of analysis: feet

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 visit

Population: Patients with diabetes mellitus but without active or past foot ulcer or surgical procedure within the feet. Abnormal plantar pressure distribution (APD) - means number of participants with symmetrical abnormal pressure distribution; No APD- without such kind a distribution.

static pedobarographic test with semi-quantitative assessment: number of the patients with abnormal plantar pressure location based on a semi-quantitative method, as static barefoot pedobarographic records with colourful print analysis. The intensity of colour was proportional to the pressure received. Warm colours indicated the greatest pressure, while cold colours indicated the least plantar pressure (starting with red, then yellow, green, and blue)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 visit

Population: Patients with DM, without active or past ulcer or surgery within the feet.The data was collected, grouped and analyzed separately for: PSSN, motor neuropathy (MN): MN-Calluses and MN-Feet deformity. One patient can developed PSSN and calluses and feet deformity (and thus his/her result was incorporated into each arm) or one of these variables.

Peripheral neuropathy is assessed with questions and clinical evaluation. A nurse asks the patient about stinging, numbness, tingling, or burning of the foot. Ten-gram monofilament and tuning fork (128 MHz) tests are administered. Monofilament is applied in 10 locations on the sole and one on the dorsal part of the foot for checking the loss of protective sensation. A positive monofilament test is considered to be the lack of sensation of tightness in at least 6 of 11 tested sites. The tuning fork is applied for vibration detection to both ankles, the first metatarsophalangeal joint, and the anterior aspect of the shin bone sites. A positive vibration test is considered to be no detection of vibration in three of four test sites.Two positive test results and typical symptoms of neuropathy are the basis for confirmation of peripheral symmetric sensory neuropathy (PSSN). The condition required for the occurrence of these disorders was symmetry.
