Foot ulcers are one of the most prevalent and dangerous problems facing diabetic patients, but new technology developed at ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ may soon help doctors better understand and treat them. The device, called a βdynamic plantar shear sensor,β represents a breakthrough for physicians to understand how plantar ulcers form.
The device was developed and built by KSU alumnus Dr. Misha Pevnyi and Tianyi Guo, a graduate student in KSUβs Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program in the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI). The project, funded by a grant from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, was overseen by Dr. Peter Palffy-Muhoray and Dr. Hiroshi Yokoyama β both in the AMLCI β in addition to Dr. Hetherington.
