Understanding Plantar Pressure Systems: Diabetic foot ulcer is a major source of morbidity and a leading cause of hospitalization. It is estimated that approximately 20% of hospital admissions among patients with diabetes mellitus are due to diabetic foot ulcer. It can lead to infection, gangrene, amputation, and even death if appropriate care is not provided. Overall, the lower limb amputation in diabetic patients is 15 times higher than in non-diabetics. Understanding foot biomechanics is an important component in the evaluation of diabetic foot. The abnormal plantar pressure distribution play a key role in the formation of plantar calluses and diabetic foot ulcer. Abnormal value of foot pressure as well as neuropathy could play an important role in the formation of plantar ulcers independently. Current international guidelines advocate achieving at least a 30 % reduction in maximum plantar pressure to reduce the risk of foot ulcers in people with diabetes. Multiple foot pressure mapping systems are available for measurement of plantar foot pressure. In shoe and platform methods are used widely for measuring plantar foot pressure.
