Investigation of the Effect of Intrinsic Foot Muscle Training on Plantar Pressure Distribution in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this experimental randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the exercise program to be applied to prevent foot wounds, which is one of the leading foot problems that develop as a result of diabetes, based on foot posture and plantar pressure distribution. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and are between the ages of 18-65 will be randomly assigned to one of the two experimental groups or the control group.Participants will be assessed through surveys to evaluate their physical activity level, foot health and functionality, and sensory status of the feet. Measurements related to foot position and posture will be taken. The use of a pedobarography device will allow for the examination of plantar pressure distribution. Following these assessments, participants will receive general foot care instructions and information on appropriate footwear, along with the designated exercise program. During routine check-ups and treatment procedures related to diabetes, blood glucose levels and HbA1c values taken from participants will be analyzed by the physician before and after the program to make comparisons. The study is planned to last for 12 weeks, and evaluations will be conducted before and after the program.
