Measuring plantar load with STAMPS3D: a preliminary study on the impact of contoured orthoses
This work demonstrates the utility of employing 3D measurement to improve our understanding of plantar load under the influence of design features implemented in contoured orthoses and their ability to offload regions at risk of DFU formation. In doing so, improvements in management and prevention of diabetes-related ulceration can be made, tackling the social and financial costs associated.
