Plantar tissue stress is associated with the risk of complications including ulceration in patients with diabetes or diabetic foot disease.

Plantar tissue stress is a combination of vertical and shear forces that occur during weight-bearing activity.

If your patient is at risk of ulceration, has mild foot deformity or areas of callus you can manage plantar tissue stress with a custom orthotic or customised prefabricated orthotic that addresses your patients foot type, biomechanics and replicates your successful padding or footwear modification.
