Item Metadata only Overview of Diabetic Foot Complications(2025-01-01) Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Nouman M.; Mahidol UniversityDiabetic foot complications represent a significant clinical and public health challenge. In diabetic neuropathy, peripheral sensory loss reduces protective sensation, making patients unaware of injuries or trauma. Early detection, patient education..., lifestyle change, and multidisciplinary management are pivotal in reducing amputations and improving quality of life. Risk factors of diabetes include peripheral neuropathy, foot deformities, uncontrolled blood sugar, insufficient foot hygiene, ill-fittingItem Metadata only Insoles for Diabetic Foot Complications(2025-01-01) Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Nouman M.; Mahidol UniversityA key mechanism is redistributing peak plantar pressure over the plantar surface to prevent excessive load on high-risk areas, especially the forefoot. Custom-made insoles consider individual foot biomechanics to reduce peak plantar pressure.... Insoles also absorb and distribute impact loads, enhancing comfort and improving biomechanics. Clinical assessment, involving patient history, gait analysis, and plantar pressure mapping, is crucial for insole prescription, considering factors like footItem Metadata only The Effect of Customized Insole Pads on Plantar Pressure Distribution in a Diabetic Foot with Neuropathy: Material and Design Study Using Finite Element Analysis Approach(2023-01-01) Nouman M.; Chong D.Y.R.; Srewaradachpisal S.; Chatpun S.; Mahidol Universityfoot with neuropathy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pad design and material stiffness on the reduction in plantar pressure in a diabetic foot with neuropathy using FEA. Three-dimensional foot models with a customized insole (CMI... be useful in the management of a neuropathic diabetic foot.Item Metadata only Research Trends and Future Directions in Insole Technology, Foot Care, and AI(2025-01-01) Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Nouman M.; Mahidol UniversityAdvancements in artificial intelligence, smart materials, smart wearable technology, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled monitoring systems, computational modeling, and telemedicine are reshaping the landscape of insole technology and diabetic foot... care. The integration of real-time data analysis, machine learning, and personalized intervention strategies promises to reduce the burden of diabetic foot complications and enhance patient outcomes. Future research and innovation should focusItem Metadata only A Comprehensive Guide to Insole-Based Approaches for Diabetic Foot Complications(2025-01-01) Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Nouman M.; Mahidol UniversityThis comprehensive book covers a wide range of topics, providing valuable insights and evidence-based information on insole-based approaches for managing diabetic foot complications. These include custom-made insoles, offloading insoles..., and therapeutic footwear, with different materials, shapes, and designs, clinical evaluation and prescription, current research trends, and real-life case studies, emphasizing their impact on plantar pressure distribution and overall foot health. The insole designItem Metadata only Finite element analysis of plantar pressure distribution in diabetic foot during stance phase of the gait cycle without and with custom-made insole(2022-01-01) Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Mahidol UniversityDiabetic foot complications tend to increase plantar pressure distribution increasing the chances of ulceration and re-ulceration. The knowledge about the factors associated with the causes of ulceration and effective offloading still lacks. Custom...-dimensional model without and with CMI was constructed. The ground reaction force from the experimental study was applied to the FE foot model during different phases of the gait cycle. The peak contact pressure was reduced with the use of CMI from all phasesItem Metadata only Infill Pattern and Density of 3D-Printed Insoles Alter Energy and Pressure Distribution in Gait(2025-04-01) Chatpun S.; Dissaneewate T.; Kwanyuang A.; Nouman M.; Srewaradachpisal S.; Movrin D.; Chatpun S.; Mahidol UniversityFeatured Application: Prostheses and Orthoses application. Diabetic foot ulcer patients are usually unaware of excessive pressure on their feet due to lost pressure sensitivity. Offloading insoles are used to alleviate foot pain. This study...% compressive strain and minimal energy absorption. Both infill patterns with 20% infill density were applied in 3D-printed insoles and tested on the foot plantar pressure of healthy male volunteers during walking. No statistically significant differencesItem Metadata only Clinical Evaluation and Prescription of Insoles(2025-01-01) Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Nouman M.; Mahidol Universitywith firmer materials for structural support. Design features include deep heel cups, arch supports, and metatarsal pads to fine-tune pressure relief. Advanced technologies, including CAD/CAM, 3D printing, artificial intelligence for foot classification..., and wearable pressure sensors, are being integrated to enhance precision, personalization, and real-time feedback. Clinical evaluation uses outcome measures like foot ulceration incidence and quantitative plantar pressure metrics, with a key target beingItem Metadata only Preface(2025-01-01) Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Nouman M.; Mahidol UniversityItem Metadata only Design and Material Considerations for Insoles(2025-01-01) Srewaradachpisal S.; Nouman M.; Chatpun S.; Srewaradachpisal S.; Mahidol UniversityInsoles provide many benefits to users, such as cushioning, comfort, support, alignment, pain relief, and injury prevention. These benefits relate to design and material selection. Each layer of insoles has a specific role and function in footwear. There are many materials for insoles, including soft materials, rigid materials, and moisture-wicking materials. Materials of each part of the insole play an important role in footwear function related to the material’s properties. The diabetic insole provides support, cushioning, and pressure offloading to minimize the risk of injury. The soft insole materials had better performance than the rigid insole materials during plantar pressure offloading. There are several manufacturing techniques for insole fabrication, including conventional fabrication, digitalized manufacturing, subtractive manufacturing, and additive manufacturing. Digitalized and additive manufacturing techniques are increasingly effective in terms of labor utilization, waste management, and time efficiency. Furthermore, using artificial intelligence in the insole design and customization can enhance more personalization, efficiency, and effectiveness, which are benefits to customers and patients.
