Summary

The aim of this research is to determine the Effects of mobilizations on foot ranges and posture in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Randomized controlled trials will be done at Dr. Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital ANTH, Bhara kahu Islamabad. The sample size will be 42. The subjects were divided in two groups, with 21 subjects in Group A and 21 in Group B. Study duration is 6 months. Sampling technique applied was Non probability Convenience Sampling technique. Both males and females of aged 45-65 having Type 2 Diabetes were included. Tools used in the study are Spirit Level Mobile Application (android)-Smartphone Goniometer, Foot Posture Index-6 and DN4-Douleur Neuropathique 4 Questionnaire.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Foot

Interventions

OTHER

subtalar and talo-crural mobilization

Traction, Antero Posterior (AP) and Postero Anterior (PA) Maitland Grade III oscillatory mobilizations of 2Hz with 120 oscilations per minute, 3 sets for 5 minutes with 1 min of rest between sets at subtalar and talocrural joint would be performed. The mobilization would be large amplitude rhythmic oscillations from the joint mid into end-range muscle spasm/stiffness (translation taken to tissue resistance). Duration will be 20 minutes with 2 sessions per week, total 12 sessions would be performed on each patient in the total period of 6 weeks. Patients will be guided to follow self foot care examination given by IWGDF Guidelines.

OTHER

International Working Group of the Diabetic Foot care guidelines

Patients will continue their usual activities according to International Working Group on Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) guidelines including the measures of inspecting the feet, self- examination for callus, pre-ulcerative signs or deformity. They will be restrict barefoot walking in-door and outdoors. To wash their feet daily with careful drying, to use emollients to prevent dryness and cut their nails straight across. Monitor the foot skin temperature for inflammation, wear orthotic insoles for preventing abundant callus. Patients will perform active ROM exercises 5 times per week for duration of 30 minutes for 6 weeks:Ankle pumps, Supination and Pronation, Drawing score from 0 to 9, Leg Flexion and Extension
