Therefore, corns or calluses develop at the plantar regions, and diabetic foot ulcers follow for severe cases, although it can be prevented and even treated by podiatric approaches with patient-specific therapeutic insoles and footwear. Although the importance of a threshold value of 200 kPa in peak plantar pressure reduction has been highlighted as a standard to prevent reulceration in the diabetic foot, it may not be possible to ensure this pressure reduction for each patient.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In this study, three types of ethylene-vinyl acetate have been used to optimize the off-loading performance for predetermined early-stage diabetic foot ulcer scenarios by means of baropodometric plantar pressure analyses and finite element method for each gait phase.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The total cost of the manufacturing for this study was reduced to $10.26 and it was performed in 24.6 minutes.
