RESUMO:Diabetes Mellitus, distúrbio metabólico crônico dos carboidratos com elevadas taxas de morbi-mortalidade, tem a neuropatia diabética periférica como complicação mais prevalente. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar associação entre sensibilidade plantar e força muscular do tornozelo em pacientes diabéticos. Estudo transversal, com 18 pacientes, verificou-se que há associação entre sensibilidade plantar e força muscular do tornozelo nesses pacientes, avaliados quanto à sensibilidade tátil com monofilamentos (Semmes-Weisntein) em três pontos da região plantar nos dois pés, e força muscular de tornozelo, com teste de força manual, graduada de 0-5. Análise realizada por meio de experimentos SPSS 20.0, testes qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher (p<0,05). Observou-se que 44,5% dos pacientes tinham perda da sensibilidade tátil; 38,8% da dolorosa; 38,8% e 33,3% diminuição da força dorso-flexora bilateral, porém a correlação dessas variáveis não foi estatisticamente significante. Portanto, não foi possível associar perda de sensibilidade plantar com diminuição da força muscular nesses pacientes diabéticos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Diabetes ASSOCIATION BET WEEN MUSCLE FORCE AND FOOT SENSITIVENESS IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES: A TRANSVERSAL STUDYABSTRACT: Diabetes mellitus, a chronic carbohydrate metabolic disorder with high morbo-mortality rates, also includes peripheral diabetic neuropathy as a predominant complication. Current analysis verifies the association between foot sensitiveness and muscle force of the ankle in patients with diabetes. A transversal study involving 18 patients revealed that there is an association between foot sensitiveness and muscle force at the ankle in patients who were evaluated with regard to tactile sensitiveness with monofilaments (Semmes-Weistein) at three sites of the sole the foot and the muscular force of the ankle, with tests for hand strength, graduated from 0 to 5. Analysis SPSS 20.0, chi-square tests and Fisher´s exact test (p<0.05) were performed. Further, 44.5% of patients suffered loss of tactile sensitiveness; 38.8% had loss of pain sensitiveness; 38.8% and 33.3% had a decrease in the lateral dorsal-flexor force even though the co-relationship of variables was not statistically significant. Loss of sole sensitiveness could not be associated with decrease in muscle force in patients with diabetes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
