A comparison of customised and prefabricated insoles to reduce risk factors for neuropathic diabetic foot ulceration

A comparison of customised and prefabricated insoles to reduce risk factors for neuropathic diabetic foot ulceration: a participant-blinded randomised controlled trial Joanne S Paton, Elizabeth A Stenhouse, Graham Bruce, Daniel Zahra and Ray B Jones Journal of Foot and Ankle Research 2012, 5:31 doi:10.1186/1757-1146-5-31 Quote: Background Neuropathic diabetic foot ulceration may be prevented if the mechanical stress transmitted to the plantar tissues is reduced. Insole therapy is one practical method commonly used to reduce plantar loads and ulceration risk. The type of insole best suited to achieve this is unknown.
