Abstract

Fragestellung: In 2000 Abboud et al. showed an earlier initial contact time for all five metatarsal heads and a later occurrence of the maximum pressure in diabetic patients indicating an increased pressure contact time of the forefoot in diabetic patients. In addition they found a delay of eccentric contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle (TA) wich supports the view that TA-dysfunction leads to forefoot slap which in turn leads to higher pressure values and longer contact duration under the metatarsal heads in diabetic patients when compared to normal subjects.
