ANALYSIS OF KNITTED FOOTWEAR LININGS FOR DIABETIC PATIENTS

Year 2016, Volume: 26 Issue: 4, 358 - 362, 30.12.2016

Abstract

Diabetes and arthritis are the most common chronic diseases in the world. Diabetes can damage many parts of the body, leading to severe cardiac conditions, strokes, visual impairment, impotence, renal and podiatric problems. Part of the problem is the loss of feeling in patients’ feet and giving way to blisters or injuries resulting in deep sores (ulcers). Selection of adequate footwear plays an important role for diabetic and arthritis patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of fabric structure and yarn type on the performance and physical characteristics of the functional knitted fabrics that will be appropriate for footwear linings of patients with locomotor disorders caused by diabetes and arthritis. In order to determine related footwear standards, tensile strength, tensile elongation, water vapour permeability properties and physical parameters were measured and evaluated for the selection of the fabrics with optimum parameters.

DİYABET HASTALARININ KULLANACAĞI ÖRME AYAKKABI ASTARLARININ İNCELENMESİ

Year 2016, Volume: 26 Issue: 4, 358 - 362, 30.12.2016

Abstract

Diyabet ve artrit dünyada en sık görülen kronik hastalıklardır. Diyabet, kalp krizi, inme, ayak problemleri, iktidarsızlık, böbrek ve göz gibi vücudun birçok uzvunda hasara neden olabilen bir hastalıktır. Diyabetli kişilerin genellikle ayakları ile sorunları vardır. Sorunun bir bölümünü diyabetli kişilerin ayaklarında his kaybı oluşmasından ötürü, su toplama veya yara oluşumu geç algılamaları oluşturmaktadır ve yaraların tedavi edilmemesi durumunda ülser ile sonuçlanabilmektedir. Uygun ayakkabının seçimi diyabet ve artrit hastaları için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, diyabet ve artritten kaynaklanan lokomotor bozukluklara sahip hastaların kullanacağı ayakkabı astarları için uygun fonksiyonel örme kumaşların performans ve fiziksel özelliklerine kumaş yapısı ve iplik tipinin etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. İlgili ayakkabı standardına uygun olarak optimum parametrelere sahip kumaşların seçimi için, kumaşların kopma mukavemeti, kopma uzaması, su buharı geçirgenliği özellikleri ve fiziksel parametreleri ölçülmüş ve değerlendirilmiştir.
