Overview
Brief Summary
This research presents a randomized clinical trial which analyzes the efficacy of a rigid rocker sole in the reduction of the recurrence rate of plantar ulcers in diabetic foot patients. The hypothesis of the research is the use of a rigid rocker sole reduces the recurrence rate of diabetic foot ulcers in patients with peripheral neuropathy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Presence of diabetic foot ulcer
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months
The Wagner system assesses ulcer depth and the presence of osteomyelitis or gangrene using the following grades: grade 0 (pre- or post-ulcerative lesion), grade 1 (partial/full-thickness ulcer), grade 2 (probing to tendon or capsule), grade 3 (deep with osteitis), grade 4 (partial foot gangrene) and grade 5 (whole foot gangrene
