“Behavior of provisional pressure-reducing materials in diabetic foot”

The main aim of this work is to assess the behavior of felts of latex foam, wool, wool on latex and 10 mm polyurethane foam as provisional pressure-reducing materials compared to foot hyperpressures. Secondary aims are to determine how Body Mass Index and Physical activity impact the pressure-reducing capacity of these materials. The research hypothesis sets out that there are statistically significant differences between the pressure-reducing capacity of the different materials and that they are impacted by Body Mass Index and Physical Activity.
