| Abstract | Biomechanical alterations in diabetes are believed to contribute to plantar neuropathic ulceration. This exploratory study documents clinical measures of flexibility and strength, alongside three-dimensional biomechanical gait data of the lower limb, in 10 patients with a history of neuropathic ulceration (DNU; n=10). Comparative data is presented from age and gender matched groups with; diabetes peripheral neuropathy and no ulcer history (DWN; n=10), diabetes and no peripheral neuropathy (DNN; n=10) and a non-diabetes reference group (NOND; n=10). Biomechanical data were collected at a comfortable walking speed with a Vicon motion analysis system. Clinical measures showed a non-significant trend toward decreased static range of motion at the ankle and first metatarsophalangeal joints, with worsening neuropathy status. Of the diabetes groups, knee and ankle strength was significantly lower in those with an ulcer history (p=0.01-0.03), with the exception of knee extension. In the DNU group, walking speed was on average 0.17 ms slower compared to NOND (p=0.04). The DNU group demonstrated a lower range of motion than NOND at the: hips (frontal plane, by 25%: p=0.03); hips and knees (transverse plane, 31%: p=0.01 and 32%: p<0.01); ankles (sagittal plane, 22%: p<0.01) and first metatarsophalangeal joints (sagittal plane, 32%: p=0.01), with less foot rotation (24%: p=0.04). Kinetic alterations in DNU included lower: ankle maximum power (21%: p=0.03) and vertical ground reaction force 2nd peak (6%: p<0.01). The study findings identified gait alterations in people with clinically severe peripheral neuropathy and related plantar foot ulcer history. Further research is needed to explore potential casual pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
