Abstract
Insoles are commonly prescribed to offload the mechanical stresstransmitted to the plantar tissues of the foot. Traditionally, thecustom-made total-contact insole (TCI) is favoured over itsprefabricated counterpart. The introduction of a new prefabricateddiabetic insole (A Algeo Ltd, Liverpool) designed to modify footbiomechanics may offer an instant, low-cost, clinically-effectivealternative. We report on a comparison of the two insoles in thecase of a 54-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes and peripheralneuropathy, presenting with ulceration overlying the thirdmetatarsal region. The F-scan in-shoe pressure measurement system(TEKSCAN) provided an objective measure of effect.
