Researchers at Glasgow Caledonian University would like to recruit people with diabetes who have reduced or no sensation in their feet (termed 'neuropathy'), to take part in a study aiming to make personalised 3D-printed insoles to reduce pressure for at-risk feet.
The study involves two visits to our lab in Glasgow Caledonian University. During the visits, you will be asked to walk on a pressure platform and have your foot shape captured using a 3D scanner. This will be used to create custom 3D-printed insoles.
At later visits, we’ll test how the insoles work while you walk and ask for your feedback. You won’t be able to keep the insoles, but we'll cover travel costs (up to £25 per visit), and you’ll receive a £25 voucher after completing all visits. For more information, please contact: Niloofar Sedighi at Niloofar.Sedighi@gcu.ac.uk.
