Foreword
Diabetes is a major public health problem of global importance. With the increase in the age of the global population, the incidence of this chronic complex metabolic disease is growing in alarming proportions. The biomechanics of the diabetic foot is altered and maladaptive. We lack a thorough understanding of the functional consequences of limb salvage. We currently rely on observation and descriptive data pertaining to the biomechanics of the diabetic foot. Technology has driven our ability to objectively describe the biomechanics of the diabetic foot. Dynamic segmental and gait analyses in conjunction with peak plantar pressure measurements have provided valuable insights. The biomechanical pathogenesis of a chronic ulceration that necessitates limb salvage is difficult to capture. Ultimately, a better understanding of the biomechanics of the diabetic foot would allow us to better select the most appropriate treatment regime to follow and thus save the diabetic foot from amputation. As the founder and president of Indian Podiatry Association, I have always promoted and encouraged our members to “think out of the box,” come up with new treat
