We measured in-shoe pressures and in-vitro shear forces at the foot-insole interface at the beginning of the study and after patients wore the insole for four months or one “standard cycle of wear”. We used the Novel Electronics, Inc. Pedar in-shoe pressure system to measure the interface between the foot and insole and the Shear Force Tester (see Phase I report) to evaluate shear forces. We expected that the GlideSoft would significantly reduce shear forces and provide equivalent reduction in vertical forces at both the day 0 evaluation and day 120 evaluations.
