▶ FRICTION BLISTERS OF THE FEET: A NEW PARADIGM TO EXPLAIN CAUSATION https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-0309.22
▶ FRICTION BLISTERS ON THE FEET: A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT PREVENTION STRATEGIES https://doi.org/10.4085/1062-6050-0341.22
0:51🎓Overview of the first paper – A New Paradigm🎓
- Repetitive shear deformation
- Skin and bone move out of synch
- Misuse of the term “friction”
- Repetitive shear deformation (not rubbing)
- Intraepidermal mechanical fatigue (not a wear injury)
- Caused by repetitive shear deformation
- Shear deformation is the “give” in the soft tissue
- Driven by bone movement, in the presence of high friction force
- Bones move, skin surface doesn’t, everything in between distorts
- When repetitive, can cause a mechanical fatigue
- Takes up to 2 hours to fill with fluid
Bone movement, high friction force and the resultant shear deformation is normal and necessary for efficient gait
- Shear deformation happens with every step we take
- It’s normal and our feet can handle a lot of it
- High in-shoe friction force is normal (needed for traction)
- Plantar epidermis is hairless, ridged, eccrine sweat glands
- Plantar dermis has a higher collagen content – to store, transmit and dissipate elastic energy during mechanical deformation
The 3 fundamental elements of blister formation include:
- motion of bone
- high friction force
- repetition of the resulting shear events
Minimising any of these 3 elements will reduce the risk of friction blisters
5:04 🎓Overview of the second paper – A critical review of current prevention strategies🎓
- How blister prevention strategies work
- Evidence base for preventions
- Evidence for: adaption, neoprene insoles, dense padded acrylic socks
- Evidence against: powders, antiperspirants
- Conflicting: paper tape, double socks
- No/insufficient: footwear fit, lubricants, other tapes, toesocks, other socks, PTFE patches, gel toe protectors, toeprops, biomechanical interventions
12:15 🚩Blister Prevention Office Hours Q&A🚩
12:34 QUESTION 1: When to open/lance and when not to (including if you have an autoimmune disorder)
- Blister size and location?
- What is your patient doing?
- What shoes can they wear?
- What gear do they have, do they have enough?
- Can they see/reach their blister?
- General health, susceptibility to infection
14:29 QUESTION 2: Best blister prevention?
- Depends on the blister location!
14:58 QUESTION 3: Posterior heel blisters in hiking boots?
- ENGO Blister Patches
18:15 QUESTION 4: Should a hiker tape before the walk “just in case”
- Be purposeful!
- Have the best prevention strategy in place for:
- blister history
- calloused areas
- structural or functional predispositions
- Give them a Blister Plan
20:39 QUESTION 5: What are the latest products to treat & prevent blisters
- PelliTec Blister Prevention Pads
- ArmaSkin toesocks
22:28 QUESTION 6: What role do compressive forces play in blister formation vs shearing forces?
24:29 QUESTION 7: Common causative factors of blisters
The three fundamental elements of blister formation include:
- motion of bone
- high friction force
- repetition of the resulting shear events
25:22 QUESTION 7: Hosiery recommendations / Advice on toesocks
28:05 QUESTION 8: What are the main causes of blisters with orthotic therapy?
30:24 QUESTION 9) Roof management; volume concern & location
