Abstract

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic training and stimulating foot CTM points on the Pattern of Plantar Force Distribution and foot muscle electromyography Parameters in diabetic neuropathy patients. Methods: The statistical sample of the present study included 40 patients (in experimental and control groups) with diabetic neuropathy and 10 healthy individuals who were selected by availible sampling. The electrical activity of selected lower limb muscles and ground reaction data were recorded using electromyography and forceplate systems during walking. The training programs were done during eight weeks. ANOVA with repeated measure test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Finding demonstrated lower peak lateral and vertical ground reaction forces after training program compared with before it. Moreover, an improvement in gluteus medius activity was observed after traininf during loading phase (P<0.05). Conclusion: Reduction of lateral and vertical groun reaction forces may be associated with improvement in gluteus medius muscle activities.
