Abstract
•The clinical utility of thin flexible sensors for assessing vertical forces acting onto the foot is explored.•Off-loading capacity of felt is documented at the level of the skin.•U-shaped felt therapy may increase pressure in other forefoot regions.
Pressure redistribution and off-loading is a vital component in the management of the foot in diabetes. In the present study, a new portable system encompassing thin piezoresistors was tested for clinical utility and efficacy with respect to a commonly used pressure relieving dressing for the foot in diabetes.
