Pressure measurements were made on 10 leprosy patients while walking barefoot and while using 6 sample shoes. The sample shoes, which represented footwear currently used worldwide in leprosy programmes, included: 1, a USA extradepth shoe without insole; 2, a USA extradepth shoe with insole; 3, a Chinese tennis shoe; 4, a Mozambique sandal; 5, a Bombay sandal; 6, a Bombay sandal with rigid sole; and 7, the patients' prescribed footwear. Peak pressure was significantly lower while walking in all footwear, except with the extradepth shoe without an insole, when compared to barefoot walking. Peak pressure was significantly lower walking in the Bombay sandals, the Chinese tennis shoe, the extradepth shoe with an insert and the patients' prescribed shoe when compared to the extradepth shoe without an insert. Regression analysis showed a significant inverse relationship between pressure and insole thickness (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.17).
对10名麻风病患者进行了压力测量，测量内容包括他们赤脚行走时以及穿着6种样鞋行走时的压力情况。这些样鞋代表了目前全球麻风病防治项目中使用的鞋类，其中包括：1. 一双没有鞋垫的美国超深鞋；2. 一双有鞋垫的美国超深鞋；3. 一双中国网球鞋；4. 一双莫桑比克凉鞋；5. 一双孟买凉鞋；6. 一双鞋底坚硬的孟买凉鞋；以及7. 患者的处方鞋。与赤脚行走相比，穿着所有鞋子行走时的峰值压力均显著降低，但不包括没有鞋垫的超深鞋。与没有鞋垫的超深鞋相比，穿着孟买凉鞋、中国网球鞋、有鞋垫的超深鞋以及患者的处方鞋行走时的峰值压力显著降低。回归分析表明，压力与鞋垫厚度之间存在显著的负相关关系（P < 0.001，R2 = 0.17）。
