  1. CENTER OF PRESSURE ON DIABETIC SUBJECTS WITH ROCKER SOLE SHOES Reporter: I-Wei Lin Advisor: Sai-Wei Yang

  2. Outline • Introduction • Hypothesis and assumption • Material and method • Preliminary result • Future work

  3. Rocker shoes will often be prescribed for DM patient to prevent ulceration DM foot problem pressure Shear force callus ulceration DM foot neuropathy、 vasculopathy necrosis amputation

  4. Introduction of rocker shoe • Apex of the rocker can be placed proximal to the site of ulceration, thus alleviating significant plantar pressures • Rigid rocker sole reduces pressure and impact shock

  5. MPJ ROCKERinhibits the demand for dorsiflexion of the toes • MET-HEAD ROCKERreduces ground-reaction force • ANKLE JOINT ROCKERdecreases ankle motion demand • HEEL ROCKER is used in conjunction with an increase of the heel pitch to shift weight forward

  6. Literature review • For the metatarsal heads: • The best average rocker axis location was in the region of 55-60% of shoe length • For the toe: • 65% of shoe length • ↑shoes height, ↑shoes angle, ↑pressure • relief Schie et. al.,2000 • Insatiability • The axis from 55% to 70% of foot length, the load-bearing move from the heel to the medial region • Relief of peak pressure at the heel may be related to increase comfort with rocker soles • Jun et.al. 2004 65%

  7. Other literature review • Mueller found an 11% reduction in step length with rocker sole use • Peterson reported that heel impact loads were four times greater in rocker shoes than in athletic shoes • Schaff et al. found peak pressures on the forefoot decreased medially and increased laterally, with significant changes in temporal parameters • Xu et al. found changes in center of pressure (COP) locus related to the heel design of the rocker sole

  8. Why use forefoot and heel rocker? Cop velocity & Pressure time integral Pressure-time integrals of DM DM subjects shows greater PTI in heel and forefoot region

  9. Design rocker shoe

  10. Purpose of the study • To investigate the effect of heel to toe rocker shoe with different apex locus for the DM subjects in pressure relief and Cop altering • Hypothesis: • Heel-to-toe rocker soles will contribute to plantar pressure relief and alter the gait pattern of DM subjects

  11. VICON motion system Marker set: Modified Helen Hayes Sampling rate: 120 Hz AMTI force plate 3 force plates Sampling rate: 960 Hz Footscan Synchronization with forceplate Sampling rate: 500 Hz Pedar Material and method forceplate 1.2 m 10 m

  12. Material and method • Conditions： • Level walking • Barefoot • Shoes • Baseline shoe(the flat sole without rockers) • 55% rocker shoe • 60% rocker shoe • 65% rocker shoe

  13. Flow chart Informed consent and Questionnaire Basic measurement: foot geometry range of motion sensitivity Plantar pressure Motion capture Assign randomly 55% rocker shoes 60% rocker shoes 65%Rocker shoes Barefoot Baseline shoes

  14. Preliminary results

  15. Subjects basic data • Sex: Male 8；Female: 8 • Age:58.2 ± 7.2 y/o • Height: 159 ± 5 cm • Body Weight: 66.7 ± 15.5 kg • BMI:26.1 ± 1.5 kg/m2

  16. Rocker shoes increase in cadence

  17. Rocker shoes maintain walk speed

  18. Pedar Baseline shoes Rocker shoes

  19. * • Maximum force and peak decrease in heel and forefoot region! • Force increase in mid foot • 60% and 65% do not show a significant difference * * * *

  20. * * * * * Peak pressure decrease in heel and forefoot region, especially with 60% and 65%rocker shoes

  21. Rocker shoe can decrease forefoot region in pressure time integrals. Rocker shoe can decrease heel and most of forefoot region in contact area.

  22. 足底壓力量測參數 • Peak pressure • Center of Pressure,COP

  23. The load pathway (Gait line or center of pressure COP)

  24. CoP velocity & acceleration T1 T3 T2 T5 T6 T4 T7 T8

  25. Bare • Baseline • 55rocker • 60rocker • 65rocker

  26. Conclusion • In spatial temporal parameter, rocker sole increase in cadence but decrease in walk speed • 60% and 65% rocker shoes show a great pressure relieve than 55% rocker shoes • All rocker shoes will shift load-bearing to mid foot and increase mid foot contact area • Effects of55%、60% and 65% rocker shoes are not consistent, the reason might be the pivot of 55%的 rocker shoe is in the mid foot area and others are around 1 MTH

  27. Conclusion • In Cop analysis，V2(correspond to the ankle rocker velocity of gait) decreased and didn't change in cadence and walk speed which means rocker shoes assist in propulsion and save the expenditure of ankle joint. • 60%、65% heel-to-toe rocker shoes may apply to high plantar pressure in fore foot and heel region；heel-to-toe rocker shoes do not fit for high risk of mid foot ulceration of DM patient (eg.Charcot foot deformity)
