objective: diabetes mellitus is one of the most common medical problems worldwide. approximately 18% of persons over 65 years old are diabetic. who estimates that the prevalence rate of diabetes (4% in 1995) will increase to 5.6% in 2025. diabetic foot problems are potentially the most preventable long–term complication for diabetes. the purpose of this study was to test the utility of the heal...

conclusions physicians are recommended to take microbiological cultures before starting empirical therapy recommended to cover gram-negative microorganisms in order to lower the risk of antibiotic resistance. objectives the current study aimed to determine the most common microorganisms involved in diabetic foot infection in order to minimize the failure of antibiotic therapy and the risk of de...

CONTEXT Altered foot dynamics due to malalignment of the foot may change plantar-pressure properties, resulting in various kinds of overuse injuries. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of foot characteristics on plantar-pressure-related measures such as maximum pressure, maximum pressure-time, and pressure-time integral underneath the medial aspect of the foot during running. DESIGN Cross-secti...

BACKGROUND Foot dimension information on different user groups is important for footwear design and clinical applications. Foot dimension data collected using different measurement methods presents accuracy problems. This study compared the precision and accuracy of the 3D foot scanning method with conventional foot dimension measurement methods including the digital caliper, ink footprint and ...

we report a catalase-negative staphylococcus aureus isolated from a 56-year-old male diabetic patient with foot ulcer who attended our surgery ward. species identification was confirmed by gram staining, standard biochemical tests and pcr amplification of the nuc and fem genes. antibiotic susceptibility showed that the strain was sensitive to imepenem, chloramphenicol, amoxicillin, vancomycin a...

Objective: Foot disorders, especially pain and deformities, are common patients’ complaints. Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ) was developed with the aim of assessing general and foot health specifically in chronic foot disorders. The purpose of the current study is cross cultural adaptation of FHSQ to Persian language and evaluating psychometric properties of the translated version. Met...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether dialysis treatment is an independent risk factor for foot ulceration in patients with diabetes and renal impairment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of consecutive patients with diabetes and stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) attending clinics in Manchester (U.K.). Patients were classified as either receiving dialysis ther...

Background Differences in dynamic foot function between young and older adults have been reported [1], however foot kinematics during walking remain largely unquantified. Our understanding of foot kinematics during walking is largely based on single-segment foot models, which limits the inferences that can be made about foot motion. This study aimed to determine if differences in foot kinematic...
