Problems connected with developing new generation of footwear for diabetics in China

Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus has become a great problem for the entire world and the number of diabetics continues to grow rapidly. Moreover, diabetes is closely associated with foot ulcerations result from mechanical load. In other words, diabetes mellitus is a biomechanical disease, it has pressure consequences for the lower extremity which leads to amputation. The insensitive diabetic foot is susceptible to tissue damage by unrelieved pressure. Ill-fitting shoes are commonest cause of foot ulcerations. Prescribed footwear will help to prevent ulcerations. Pressure relief in the management of diabetic foot problems is important. Treatment of ulcerations requires reduction of mechanical load and usage of special footwear. China is a burdened country by this "civilizing disease", and also the biggest footwear producer in the world, unfortunately, only a few researches has focused on the diabetic foot problems in China and few diabetic shoes were researched and produced. The purpose of this work is to measure the foot situation of type 2 diabetic patients native Chinese. Footprint was measured by a scanning instrument. Foot characteristics were measured on each foot by a measuring tape. Plantar pressure was measured and by EMED system. Data from diabetics in China were compared with data of the healty adults and finally the new generation footwear for diabetics in China could be established.

Diabetes mellitus je zava.ny problem, ktery postihuje cely sv.t .im dal vice. Toto onemocn.ni je navic spojeno s p.imym ohro.enim dolnich kon.etin a m..e kon.it a. amputaci nohou pacienta. Pacienti s timto onemocn.nim trpi necitlivosti dolnich kon.etin. P.i pou.ivani b..ne obuvi dochazi k otlak.m a naslednemu po.kozeni chodidel, ktere kon.i a. jejich ulceraci. Proto je spravn. padnouci profylakticka obuv velmi d.le.ita. Take .ina trpi touto ?\civiliza.ni chorobou. a a.koliv je nejv.t.im sv.tovym vyrobcem obuvi na sv.t., vyskytuje se jen malo odbornych studii zam..enych na zmin.nou problematiku, co. lze .ici i o samotnem testovani profylakticke obuvi i jeji vyrob..
