Abstract
Community dwelling adults with diabetes have a high rate of ankle equinus which is associated with increased forefoot pressure time integrals and a two-fold increased risk of high in-shoe peak pressures. Clinical assessment of an ankle equinus may be a useful screening tool to identify adults at increased risk of diabetic foot complications.
