Abstract
The observed difference in the stiffness of the heel pad between the ulcerated and non-ulcerated feet indicates a possible link between tissue mechanics and ulceration. Further analysis of the data proposed in this study provided a quantitative assessment of plantar fat pad deformability which can contribute to understanding the role of tissue biomechanics in ulceration.
