“…During plantigraphy, it was asked to volunteer, barefoot and relaxed, stepped on one foot on the equipment surface and take a step forward, removing it then. (10)(11)(12) The analysis addressed the following classification parameters: Cavus foot, when the individual has the width of the plantar impression of the midfoot smaller than 1/3 of the ante-foot measurement. Normal foot when, the individual has the width of the plantar impression of the foot, corresponding to 1/3 of the width of the plantar impression of the foot.…”

Introduction:The ankle and foot are responsible for the support base of the whole body and variations in the foot posture influences the function of lower limbs. Objective: To observe whether there is a relationship between the isokinetic peak torque of ankle muscles with different types of foot. Method: The sample consisted of 32 volunteers, divided intentionally into 3 groups (normal, flat and cavus) according to the classification of the type of foot. They were evaluated in an isokinetic dynamometer Biodex 4 Medical Systems  , for analysis of ankle muscles peak torque in flexion and dorsal plantar, inversion and eversion in concentric contraction at 30 and 60°/s speeds. Results: There was positive moderate correlation between cavus group and the inversion peak torque in the dominant lower limb and negative moderate correlation on the not dominant lower limb. The flat foot group presented correlation with peak torque in the plantar flexion movement at a speed of 30°/s in non-dominant leg, which was negative moderate correlation. The normal foot group was correlated with peak torque of dorsiflexion movement in the dominant lower limb on 60 °/s speed and the non-dominant leg on 30°/s, been negative moderate correlations. Conclusion: The foot types were correlated with the ankle muscles, showing that alterations on the position of the feet, the ankle muscle strength changes depending on it.

“…The imprinting systems use consumables, which can be burdensome to replace in facilities that are under-funded and under-staffed. Additionally, the training requirements and inter-observer variation make them a poor fit for health systems in which patients mostly see generalist nurses (Cisneros, Fonseca, and Abreu, 2010). Thus, we were able to leverage existing knowledge to efficiently identify a product strategy, but a novel method of assessing plantar pressure is needed for feasible implementation in LMICs.…”

Interest in applying a “lean” philosophy to design has been slowly growing in recent years, but there are still few broadly applicable methodologies and illustrative cases published in the literature to guide lean design processes. Lean approaches promise cost reduction and increased product value, which could be particularly beneficial in product development for low- and middle-income country markets, where value demands are high. We use the clinical need of efficient diabetic foot risk assessment in lowresource healthcare settings to present an example of lean early-stage design of a medical device. The background of existing medical literature and commercial products is intentionally leveraged throughout the design process to streamline development and minimize the need for independent validation of product strategies and design features. Our approach resulted in an efficient design process that generated a novel, purely mechanical plantar pressure evaluation device that can indicate high risk of diabetic foot ulcer in resource-constrained settings. This case provides a practical example of how design processes can be adapted to be leaner where there are large gains from minimizing design cycle time and cost.

“…Imprinting systems necessitate consumables, which can be burdensome to replace in facilities lacking sufficient staffing and funding. Additionally, inter-observer variation and subsequent training requirements make them a poor fit for low-resource health systems in which patients mostly see generalist nurses or community health workers [27][28][29].…”

A Resource-Efficient Plantar Pressure Evaluation System for Diabetic Foot Risk Assessment

Diabetic foot complications constitute a large and rapidly growing global health problem, causing one million lower-extremity amputations annually. These amputations are typically preceded by preventable diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). However, 80% of the world’s diabetics now reside in low- and middle-income countries, where many healthcare settings lack the resources required to implement recommended DFU risk assessment and prevention strategies. There is an unmet need for a more resource-efficient DFU risk assessment method. In this study, a low-cost, purely mechanical plantar pressure evaluation device was designed toward this end. The device consists of a grid of plastic bistable compliant mechanisms, which present a visual series of binary outputs in response to applied pressure. By having diabetic patients step on the device, non-specialist healthcare providers can easily assess patients’ plantar pressures, which are predictive of future DFUs. A prototype was fabricated and pilot-tested with 41 healthy subjects. It demonstrated a sensitivity of 25.6%, although sensitivity reached 60% for heavier subjects. Sensitivity could likely be significantly improved by lowering the device’s profile and increasing the sensing area. Strained health systems may then be able to use this device to allocate scarce healthcare resources more efficiently to prevent costly DFUs and amputations.
