Plantar pressures are higher in cases with diabetic foot ulcers compared to controls despite a longer stance phase duration

This data-set contains raw (de-identified) data used for the analysis of the study "Plantar pressures are higher in cases with diabetic foot ulcers compared to controls despite a longer stance phase duration". 146 participants were included in the study: 21 DFU (Group 1) (patients with diabetic foot ulcers); 70 DM Control (Group 2) (patients with type 2 diabetes) and 55 healthy participants (Group 3). Data were collected in 5 trials (column label suffixes A-E) and were recorded within the plantar aspect of the foot at 10 anatomical locations: plantar surfaces of the hallux (T1), combined toes one to five (T2to5), metatarsal one (M1), metatarsal two (M2), metatarsal three (M3), metatarsal four (M4), metatarsal five (M5), the mid foot (Midfoot) , the medial rear foot (MHeel) and the lateral rear foot (LHeel). Data includes peak pressures in N/cm²; pressure time integral (PTI) in Ns/cm²; contact area of the foot in cm², estimated vertical ground reaction force (contact area multiplied by mean peak pressure, MPP) in N, maximum sensor pressures in N/cm² and body mass adjusted force (Spreadsheet 1) and stance times in ms (Spreadsheet 2)
