Plantar fascia stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Stiffness effect on fall risk and gait speed
Aims
The primary objective was to compare patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and healthy peers in terms of plantar fascia (PF) stiffness, fall risk, and gait speed. The second objective was to examine the relationship between stiffness of PF and fall risk, gait speed.
Methods
Fifty patients diagnosed with T2DM (mean duration = 10.74 ± 7.07 years) were included. Myotonometer was used to evaluate the stiffness of PF. To assess the risk of falling, and gait speed, the International Fall Efficiency Scale (FES-I) and the 4-Meter Gait Speed Test (4mGST) were used, respectively.
Results
Compared to healthy controls, PF stiffness (right foot mean difference = 148.99 N/m, left foot mean difference = 113.13 N/m p < .001) was higher in the T2DM group. The FES-I and 4mGST scores were worse in the group with T2DM (p < .05). 12.8 % of FES-I and 23.4 % of 4mGST variance were explained by stiffness of PF.
Conclusions
The results of the study showed that the stiffness of PF changed in patients with T2DM. There was a decrease in gait speed and an increase in the risk of falling as PF stiffness increased.
期刊介绍:
The Foot is an international peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of scientific approaches and medical and surgical treatment of the foot. The Foot aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for all specialties involved in treating disorders of the foot. At present it is the only journal which provides this inter-disciplinary opportunity. Primary research papers cover a wide range of disorders of the foot and their treatment, including diabetes, vascular disease, neurological, dermatological and infectious conditions, sports injuries, biomechanics, bioengineering, orthoses and prostheses.
