Reliability of the evidence To guide decision-making in foot ulcer prevention in diabetes: An overview of systematic reviews
BMC Medical Research Methodology
Diabetes mellitus is a major global public health problem. In 2019, 463 million adults around the world were living with diabetes and projections predict an increase in prevalence to 578 million by 2030 and 700 million by 2045. In the UK alone it is estimated that 5 million people will have diabetes by 2030. People with diabetes are more at risk of developing foot problems with those affected experiencing higher rates of foot ulceration, lower-limb amputation and premature death.

Many-faceted rasch calibration of the foot function index-revised short form
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research
The Foot Function Index Revised Short version (FFI-RS) is a foot- and ankle- patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), developed from the Foot Function Index (FFI). Previous studies, estimating item parameters and multidimensional properties, have limitations properly establishing the measurement properties of the FFI-RS. A multi-faceted Rasch analysis with a larger sample would allow for a more robust validation approach to improve the clinical interpretation of the FFI-RS using a multidimensional perspective.

Magnetic sensors track muscle length
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Using a simple set of magnets, MIT researchers have come up with a sophisticated way to monitor muscle movements, which they hope will make it easier for people with amputations to control their prosthetic limbs.
In a new pair of papers, the researchers demonstrated the accuracy and safety of their magnet-based system, which can track the length of muscles during movement. The studies, performed in animals, offer hope that this strategy could be used to help people with prosthetic devices control them in a way that more closely mimics natural limb movement.
