| Abstract |
Introduction:Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is an important complication of diabetic mellitus.The primary symptom of DPN disrupts the integration of the somatosensory system contributing toboth static and dynamic balance ability. Furthermore, muscles are progressive decline in distal to proximal parts of the body. The combination of muscle weakness and balance impairment obviously leads to gait abnormality, then it is directly linked to functional limitations. The study aimed to compare the functional ability, both with and without functional limitations, in type 2-diabetesmellitus (T2DM) with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
Methods: This study wascross-sectionally collected the data in DPN patients from25 sub-district health promoting hospital, Nakhon Phanom Province in the Northeastern of Thailand. They were diagnosed as DPN using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). Then, they were screened functional limitation using thelate-life function and disability instrument (Late-life FDI) questionnaire.The eligible participants were assessed hand grip dynamometer (HGD), toe grip dynamometer (TGD), five times sit-to-stand test (FTSST), single leg stancetest (SLS), timed up and go test (TUG), and 10-meter walk test (10MWT).
Results:Sixty-four eligible subjects were divided into two groups: a non-functional limitations group (45 subjects) and a functional limitations group (19 subjects). According to the findings, approximately 30% of the DPN patients were reported with functional limitations. The DPN patients with functional limitations were reported with significantly poorer muscle strength (hand grip and toe grip strength, and leg muscle strength), static and dynamic balance ability, and gait speedthan another group (p< 0.05).
Conclusions: Present studysuggested thelevel of functional ability in these individualscould be meaningful for health practitioners in preventing severe complications and disability from functional limitation conditions.
