Computer scans of the foot can measure pressure exerted on different areas. The scans quantify peak pressures and can identify pressures beyond tolerable limits, which can be the cause of ulcers. The scans show red areas of abnormally high pressure and reveal how the foot falls and which areas contact the ground. This helps identify areas at risk for future ulcers.
