Shoe Insoles for people with Type 2 Diabetes and Foot Nerve Damage |
Thank you for your interest in our study exploring vibrating shoe insoles for people with diabetes.
You would be required to attend The University of Queensland (St Lucia Campus, Brisbane) on 2 occasions for approximately 2 hours. You will be asked to complete some questionnaires about your general health, diabetes, foot health and falls. We will then test the sensation on your feet and assess your foot shape. You will be asked to wear 2 different pairs of shoe insoles. We will measure your standing balance and walking whilst you are wearing the insoles. We will also apply some small electrodes to your legs to look at how your leg muscles work during the balance and walking tests.
Complimentary car parking or reimbursement of public transport costs are available to assist with transport to and from The University of Queensland.
If you are interested in taking part in the study, please answer the following questions, and provide your contact details. A member of the research team will get in contact with you, to discuss your participation.
