ABSTRACT
AIMS/INTRODUCTION:
Patients with a healed diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) have a 40% risk of ulcer recurrence within a year. New and effective measures to prevent DFU recurrence are essential. We aimed to highlight emerging trends and future research opportunities in the use of plantar pressure measurement to prevent DFU recurrence. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Our scoping review protocol was drafted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis - Scoping Review protocol. Peer-reviewed, English-language papers were included that addressed both plantar pressure measurement and diabetic foot disease, either as primary studies that have advanced the field or as review papers that provide summaries and/or opinion on the field as a whole, as well as specific papers that provide guidelines for future research and advancement in the field.RESULTS:
A total of 24 eligible publications were identified in a literature search using PubMed. A further 36 eligible studies were included after searching the references sections of these publications, leaving a total of 60 publications included in this scoping review.CONCLUSIONS:
Plantar pressure measurement can and will play a major role in the prevention of DFU. There is already a strong, albeit limited, evidence base in place to prove its benefit in reducing DFU recurrence. More research is required in larger populations, using remote monitoring in real-world settings, and with improved technology.Palavras-chave
