Objective
In the past, the treatment of diabetic patients was based solely on the subjective experience of the individual orthopaedic shoe technician. Patients suffering from neuropathy are unable to inform the orthopaedic shoe technician about the correctness of the treatment. For this reason, the orthopaedic shoe technicians have to control the treatment for the patients in shortterm intervals to conduct necessary corrections before the feet will be affected. The expenses for these follow-up corrections have to be borne by the companies. By means of the pressure measuring systems developed in the recent years, the orthopaedic shoe technicians, for the first time, have the opportunity to control the quality of their work irnmediately during the application of the orthoses to the foot. Scientific fundaments for the interpretation of measurement values and their practical transformation into orthopaedic shoe technical measures are missing for the application of modern measuring systems. With this project, the technological fundamentals for this task are to be acquired. The results achieved are to be comprised in software for the evaluation of the measuring of the pressure distribution. With these technological fundamentals, it will be possible to drastically reduce the time consumption for the follow-up work on the evaluation of orthoses and, thereby, substantially reduce the production costs. Through this improved treatment for the patients, the amputation rate due to severe foot problems can be reduced. The mobility of the patients is retained for a longer period, thereby contributing to an improved quality of life.
