Summary

Many foot and lower limb disorders resulting from diabetes, such as deformity, muscle weakness, reduced range of motion, stiffness of connective tissue, amount of oxygenation, functional capacity, poor balance and coordination, can potentially be corrected or prevented with specific interventions (15). It is important to diversify assessment methods for the development and elaboration of prevention strategies. Rapid, low-cost and detailed evaluations provide good planning of treatment. According to the International Diabetic Foot Study Group (IDFG) scale used to determine the risk of diabetic foot ulcer, it is thought that performing a plantar pressure analysis of a patient with diabetes to determine the people who do not have foot ulcers but are at risk, knowing the difference in the amount of muscle oxygenation of the muscles around the foot and ankle with healthy people and the change in muscle elastic properties will be important in terms of preventing the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers and determining the changes of the treatments applied in the lower extremities.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Muscle Elastic Properties Measurement

Using the MyotonPro device, the elastic properties, including stiffness, elasticity, and tone, were evaluated for the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius medialis, gastrocnemius lateralis, and peroneus longus muscles. Measurements were performed in a controlled laboratory setting.

OTHER

Muscle Oxygen Saturation (SmO2)

Muscle oxygenation levels were measured before and after a standardized exercise protocol using the MOXY device. The exercise protocol consisted of a light-intensity dynamic task tailored to minimize fatigue and mimic functional activity.

OTHER

Plantar Pressure Analysis

Plantar pressure was assessed both statically and dynamically using a pressure-mapping platform. This provided data on pressure distribution, contact times, and high-pressure areas across the foot during various conditions.
