Popis:	tion rather than neuropathy as speculated by Mueller et al. (1998). There were no evident gait compensations at the hip and the knee joints but the patients with PFA demonstrated gait asymmetry at the ankle. On the contra-lateral limb they walked with greater ankle moments in an apparent attempt to compensate for the decreased push-off on the affected limb. Also the peak pressures were higher over the heel. This may indicate a potential risk of plantar tissue injury on the contra-lateral foot. Therefore during treatment and rehabilitation following diabetic PFA care must be taken to protect the intact foot (Table 1).
