Effect of rocker shoe design features on forefoot plantar pressures in people with and without diabetes (2013)
Journal Article
Chapman, J., Preece, S., Braunstein, B., Höhne, A., Nester, C., Brueggemann, G., & Hutchins, S. (2013). Effect of rocker shoe design features on forefoot plantar pressures in people with and without diabetes. Clinical Biomechanics, 28(6), 679-685. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2013.05.005

Background: There is no consensus on the precise rocker shoe outsole design that will optimally reduce plantar pressure in people with diabetes. This study aimed to understand how peak plantar pressure is influenced by systematically varying three de...
