A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial in 30 patients with a previous healed diabetic foot ulcer.~After parallel randomization (1:1) patients will be enrolled into two different groups:~Patients that will acquire the therapeutic footwear size and model according to aesthetic preferences;~Patients that will acquire a specific size and model according to result of a novel mobile app 3D feet scan (smart-fitting by Podiapp - Podartis s.r.l Unipersonale-Crocceta del Montello (TV), Italy).~Validation of proper therapeutic footwear fitting will be performed by a specialized podiatrist after acquisition of shoes in both groups.~Therapeutic Footwear will be recommended to change when following ill fitting reason been found: excessive length or tight, or compromise with toes
Patients with diabetes at high risk of ulceration require a perfect fitting shoe to avoid high shear and pressure forces. Neuropathy skews sensory perceptions and can alter the proper selection of the therapeutic footwear.~The aims of study were to evaluate the ability of high-risk patients with diabetes in remission to select the proper therapeutic footwear and to validate a novel 3D foot scanner app for selecting the proper fitting therapeutic footwear.
