The aim of this prospective 4-yr study was to analyse changes in mean plantar pressure (PP) over time and local shifts of maximal PP in Type 2 diabetic patients. One-hundred fifty-five Type 2 diabetic patients (age 58.9 +/- 7.5 yr, diabetes duration 11.0 +/- 7.6 yr, baseline HbA1c 9.6 +/- 1.6%) were examined with regard to foot abnormalities, neuropathy and measurement of PP during walking (pedobarography). They were assigned to two subgroups, namely normal PP (n=94) and elevated PP (n=57). Patients with an abnormal mean PP did not significantly differ from subjects with a normal PP with regard to sex, age, duration of diabetes and HbA1c. With the exception of the hallux, the mean PP was significantly increased in both groups at all other plantar sites. Maximum PP was located below the metatarsal heads (MTH) 2-5 and significantly increased from baseline (median, lower/upper quartile: 475, 355/715 kPa) to the end of the study (540, 435/749; p<0.0001). On the other hand, PP was normalized in 17 subjects (29.8%) who had an elevated PP at baseline. Furthermore, we observed a local shift in maximal PP towards the MTH 2-5 region. The percentage of patients who had their highest PP under MTH 2-5 was increased from 54.0% at baseline to 61.1% at the end of the study. In general, we registered an elevation of PP over time and a centralization towards sites which are generally prone to ulceration.
