AIM: To investigate the association of @entity2720 ( @entity2720 ) and plantar foot pressure in Asian Indian @entity6 subjects. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The @entity2720 and plantar pressure were measured in 345 consecutive subjects attending the foot clinic. The study groups were: Control-non- @entity6 controls (n=50), @entity3918 - @entity6 @entity1 without @entity16 (n=100), @entity3918 +N- @entity6 neuropaths (n=110) and @entity3918 +NU- @entity6 neuropaths with past history of foot @entity1066 (n=85). Joint mobility was assessed using a goniometer. Plantar pressure was measured using the RS-Scan platform system. All subjects were able to walk comfortably unaided at their own pace. Data obtained on the metatarsal heads were used for analysis. @entity16 status was assessed using the biothesiometer. RESULTS: The @entity6 @entity1 had higher prevalence of @entity2720 and higher plantar pressure than control subjects (P<0.0001). Among the @entity6 @entity1 , those with @entity16 and history of plantar @entity1066 had higher @entity2720 and plantar pressure compared to non-neuropaths (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Both @entity2720 and high plantar pressure appear to be important determinants of foot @entity1066 in susceptible @entity1109 Indian @entity6 @entity1 .
