Abstract
Aging and Type 2 Diabetes: Consequences for Motor Control, Musculoskeletal Function, and Whole-Body Movement
Highlights
Diabetic plantar ulcers develop predominantly due to high foot pressures applied during gait along with other risk factors such as neuropathy, vascular insufficiency, and foot deformities
Diabetes causes a number of complications that negatively impact on the musculoskeletal system and the individual’s capacity to perform a number of daily physical activities. It leads to impaired physical capacity through a number of mechanisms such as muscle weakness, limited joint range of motion, and damage to peripheral nerves
Be enlightening to study gait of diabetes patients in their natural environment where conditions may be different from those presented in the laboratory
