Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer is often accompanied
by cutaneous changes, including skin
thickening, callus formation and increased
stiffness at the callus areas. Therefore,
variation in the mechanical properties of
the sole skin plays an important role in the
development of diabetic foot ulceration.
In this study, a novel device is developed
for the measurements of shear wave
propagation velocity (SWV) on the fragile
skin. It is applicable for the evaluation
of diabetic foots properties to find the
regions that are vulnerable for ulceration.
The preliminary results of forearm SWV
showed good agreement with the literature.
The SWV for the sole skin of the foot
appears to be slower and the influence due
to skin thickness and the moisture level is
substantial.
