简要总结
As a result of glycation of collagen fibers in diabetes mellitus, an increase in thickness and stiffness is observed in the plantar fascia, which is a connective tissue. These changes in the plantar fascia affect the windlass mechanism of the foot, normal range of motion and foot plantar pressure distribution. These biomechanical effects may cause the development of diabetic foot ulcers in the later stages of the disease. We hypothesis that myofascial release technique and kinesiology taping methods have an effect on plantar fascia stiffness and plantar pressure distribution in diabetic patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate effects of the two methods on the stiffness of the plantar fascia and foot sole pressure distribution in diabetic patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Evaluation of foot plantar pressure distribution
时间窗: Change from baseline plantar presure distrubution at following kinesiologic tape appliying and at 30min.
Plantar pressure distrubution (gr/ cm²) on the force platform will be measured.
Evaluation of decrement
时间窗: Change from baseline decrement properties of the plantar fascia at following kinesiologic tape appliying and at 30min.
Decrement of the plantar fascia will be mesured using a digital handheld myometer (MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia).
Evaluation of stiffness
时间窗: Change from baseline stiffness of the plantar fascia at following kinesiologic tape appliying and at 30min.
Stiffness (N/m) of the plantar fascia will be mesured using a digital handheld myometer (MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia).
Evaluation of creep
时间窗: Change from baseline creep properties of the plantar fascia at following kinesiologic tape appliying and at 30min.
Creep of the plantar fascia will be mesured using a digital handheld myometer (MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia).
Evaluation of relaxation time
时间窗: Change from baseline relaxation time properties of the plantar fascia at following kinesiologic tape appliying and at 30min.
Relaxation time of the plantar fascia will be mesured using a digital handheld myometer (MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia).
