Plantar temperatures in stance position: A comparative study with healthy volunteers and diabetes patients diagnosed with sensoric neuropathy

Study on differences in posture-dependent plantar temperature changes between patients with diabetes and healthy volunteers. Results show that the underlying blood supply is similarly regulated as in healthy controls and that the plantar temperature is not disturbed with diabetes. Timely temperature changes occur in stance position, which may lay the groundwork for approaches to identify pressure and temperature patterns that are indicatory of emerging microcirculatory foot problems with diabetes in the future.
