The study aimed to investigate ankle and knee stiffness and passive torque in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy, at different speeds of motion. The results showed differences in passive torque and stiffness in the ankle and knee joints among individuals with DM2, with DPN presenting greater ankle stiffness and passive torque, indicating the need for early preventive measures.
The aim of this study was to investigate the ankle and knee stiffness and passive torque in individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) at different speed of motion. Forty-nine male individuals of a similar age were studied (17 with DM2 without DPN, 15 with DM2 and DPN, and 17 controls). Knee and ankle flexion and extension passive torques were assessed on an isokinetic dynamometer at 5??/s, 30??/s, and 60??/s. Our results showed that the individuals with DM2 exhibited greater knee stiffness compared to the controls and the individuals with DPN presented greater ankle stiffness and passive torque compared to the controls and those with DM2 without DPN. The mechanical impairments at the ankle passive structures were most evident at low speeds while the knee alterations were at 30??/s and 60??/s. Although the presence of DPN was a key factor for the increased passive ankle stiffness and torque, it was not related to the increase in the knee passive stiffness. Preventive measures for avoiding stiffness and motion impairments at the ankle and knee could be adopted in the early stages of DM2.
