Research On The Plantar Pressure 0f With Diabetics With Peripheral Neuropathy

ObjectiveTo investigate the plantar pressure distribution of peripheral neuropathy in Chinese diabetics.Methods plantar foot pressure in walking was measured in 123 normal individuals(group NC) ,and 63diabetic patients without distinct peripheral neuropathy (group DM) and 62 cases in group DN.ResultThere was no significant difference in BMI any three groups. The age of diabetes in group DN was longer than other two groups. The peak plantar foot pressure of M3 in group DM was significant higher than that in group NC but other region no difference between group DM and group NC. Many group DNs reigens was significant difference than both group NC and group DM, in the right foot, M3 and M5 is higher, MF is lower .In the left foot the case is same.ConclusionThe plantar pressure distribution of DN was different to both group DM and group NC, in all the duration of DM, the plantar pressure of some region changed gradually. All the foot pressure lost its balance so that the pressure of some region was even higher.
