title: Pressure reducing capacity of felt: a feasibility study using a new portable system with thin sensors.
abstract: Pressure redistribution and off-loading is a vital component in the management of the foot in diabetes. In the present study, a new portable system encompassing thin piezoresistors was tested for clinical utility and efficacy with respect to a commonly used pressure relieving dressing for the foot in diabetes.
