简要总结
The study aims to examine the intra-rater, inter-rater, and inter-session reliability of MyotonPRO in measuring plantar fascia mechanical properties in adults with diabetes.
详细描述
Therefore, changes occur in standing weight-bearing points, loading zones, and gait biomechanics. The thickened plantar fascia increases the risk of developing diabetic foot with increased peak-plantar pressure, and therefore, plantar fasciitis is more common in individuals with diabetes than in healthy individuals. The myotonometer studies showed that chronic diabetes history increases dynamic stiffness, which is one of the mechanical properties of the plantar fascia, and that as the severity of the disease increases, fascial stiffness also increases. The aim of the study is to examine the intra-rater, inter-rater, and inter-session reliability of MyotonPRO in measuring plantar fascia mechanical properties in adults with diabetes.

结局指标
主要结局
Muscle Tone (Hz)
时间窗: Day 1
The muscle tone which is a biomechanical property of the forearm muscles will be evaluated with a portable hand-held myotonometer. The MyotonPRO applies a short-intensity mechanical impulse on the skin overlying the muscle or facia. The tissue's response then generates a signal that is recorded, and an internal software program produces an acceleration graph. After each application, the acceleration graph will be examined and if there is any deviation from the normal, the measurements will be repeated. Recordings will be reloaded into the software program and reported for each participant. The oscillation frequency (Hz) represents the resting muscle tone.
