Foot structure and function: aetiological risk factors for callus formation in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects

To compare foot structure and function with diabetic, metabolic and neurological factors associated with callus formation three groups of patients were studied: Group 1, diabetic subjects with callus; Group 2, diabetic subjects without callus; and a control group of non-diabetic subjects with callus...

Description
Summary:To compare foot structure and function with diabetic, metabolic and neurological factors associated with callus formation three groups of patients were studied: Group 1, diabetic subjects with callus; Group 2, diabetic subjects without callus; and a control group of non-diabetic subjects with callus. No statistical differences were demonstrated between the two groups of diabetic subjects as regards age, duration of diabetes, blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin and neurological status. However, both groups with callus displayed similar functional characteristics irrespective of the presence of diabetes, and there were significant differences ( P
