Exploring Experiences and Perspectives of Prescribed Foot Orthoses in People With Diabetes
This study provides valuable insights into user experiences of prescribed foot orthoses and factors influencing foot orthoses-related behavioural choices; these findings may help researchers and healthcare professionals in designing and delivering foot orthoses that better meet the needs of users to enhance engagement with preventative strategies. Important considerations include the perception of balance and stability, the psychological impact of diabetes-related foot disease and the role of the healthcare professional in providing support both during and after foot orthoses provision.
