“…Одним из факторов, определяющих приверженность к ортопедической обуви, является возраст: чем старше пациент, тем он менее требователен к ортопедической обуви практически по всем параметрам ее оценки [17]. В нашем исследовании отмечена та же возрастная зави-симость.…”

“…Од-нако частота применения ортопедической обуви даже при ее хорошем качестве никогда не соответствует оп-тимальной. Так, в голландском исследовании было по-казано, что 58% больных носят ортопедическую обувь менее 60% дневного времени, причем среднее время, проводимое в ней, было 9 ч [17]. Можно с большой долей уверенности предположить, что длительность и частота применения ортопедической обуви в нашей группе были значительно меньше 50% от дневного времени, хотя мы не проводили хронометраж домашнего и уличного ее использования.…”

Цель. Оценить приверженность к применению ортопедической обуви у больных с язвами стоп и/или малыми ампутациями в анамнезе, артропатией Шарко (АШ), with severe deformities,70.8% vs 34%; with moderate deformities, 83.3% vs 57.2% (p < 0.05 for all). In patients with CA, the only significant parameter was the difference in the circumference of the midfoot between the affected and non-affected foot; in this parameter was 1.93 ± 1.25 vs 0.70 ± 0.83 cm, respectively (р = 0.01).

“…It starts from the moment a problem is reported, defines the design phase and concludes with the evaluation of the medical device and its use that has been supplied. Therefore, the key question is: Why there still remain -despite the use of ICF and PDMD -a substantial level of non-use of devices and a significant level of dissatisfaction among AFO users [6,14,15,17,[29][30][31]? In our opinion, the answer has to be found in the general character of the ICF and the PMDM that they neither facilitate a systematic and detailed analysis of the activities of users nor support a systematic mapping of the environments in which users are living.…”

Abstract.BACKGROUND: Non-use of and dissatisfaction with ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) occurs frequently. The objective of this study is to gain insight in the conversation during the intake and examination phase, from the clients' perspective, at two levels: 1) the attention for the activities and the context in which these activities take place, and 2) the quality of the conversation. METHODOLOGY: Semi-structured interviews were performed with 12 AFO users within a two-week period following intake and examination. In these interviews, and subsequent data analysis, extra attention was paid to the needs and wishes of the user, the desired activities and the environments in which these activities take place. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Activities and environments were seldom inquired about or discussed during the intake and examination phase. Also, activities were not placed in the context of their specific environment. As a result, profundity lacks. Consequently, orthotists based their designs on a 'reduced reality' because important and valuable contextual information that might benefit prescription and design of assistive devices was missed. A model is presented for mapping user activities and user environments in a systematic way. The term 'user practices' is introduced to emphasise the concept of activities within a specific environment.

“…In a qualitative study regarding diabetic therapeutic footwear, Johnson et al [53] noted a key finding was that patients and health professionals had differing perspectives in terms of expectations and reality of preventive behavior. Research has found an association between perceived benefit of diabetic shoes and adherent use of the shoes [54], suggesting improved education may have a role to play in improving adherence. Although a number of individual studies have reported style, perceived benefit, and other factors to be predictive of diabetic shoe adherence, a 2016 systematic review concluded that there are presently too few studies to draw any definitive conclusions [55].…”

Recent Advances and Future Opportunities to Address Challenges in Offloading Diabetic Feet: A Mini-Review

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a substantial dilemma for geriatric individuals with diabetes. The breakdown in tissue associated with DFU is typically a result of repetitive cycles of physical stress placed on the feet during weight-bearing activity. Accordingly, a key tenet in healing as well as preventing DFU is the use of offloading footwear to redistribute physical stress away from high stress locations such as bony prominences. Over the last several years there has been a substantial amount of effort directed at better understanding and implementing the practice of offloading. A review of this work as well as relevant technological advances is presented in this paper. Specifically, we will discuss the following topics in association with offloading diabetic feet: achieving optimal offloading, dosing activity/physical stress, thermal monitoring to detect preulcerative tissue damage, adherence with offloading devices, and optimizing the user experience. In addition to presenting progress to date, potential directions for further advancement are discussed.
