Event details
We would like to offer you the opportunity to take part in a Stakeholder Event which is being held on Tuesday 12th April 2016 at the University of Southampton.
Foot health and foot wear are important aspects of health. The purpose of the SHOES study was to increase our understanding of the negative and positive issues relating to footwear used by people with stroke or Parkinson’s with the aim to provide information to develop a plan to guide health care workers, users and carers on the best features of footwear for healthy feet and maintaining balance.
The SHOES stakeholder event takes place in the Nightingale Building (Building 67) on Tuesday 12th April 2016 from 10am to 4pm. We will bring together clinicians, researchers, engineers, shoe manufacturers with an interest in footwear, foot problems, balance and fall prevention as well as people with stroke and Parkinson’s.
The full programme for the day can be viewed below.
We will report the findings of our current study and presentations will include talks about:
-
The indoor and outdoor footwear habits of people with Parkinson’s and people with stroke:
- A description of shoes worn in different settings.
- A description of foot problems and access to healthcare.
- Gender specific issues.
- Factors impacting on the personal choice of footwear.
-
An exploration of positive and negative views of participants on their footwear.
- Presenting findings from qualitative interviews (15 people with stroke, 15 people with Parkinson’s).
- Decision making and purchasing footwear.
-
A comparative study of the influence of indoor and outdoor shoes on balance and mobility tasks:
- Presenting findings on foot and ankle characteristics and balance ability. (involving in 30 people with stroke and 30 people with Parkinson’s).
