Early-Stage Diabetic Neuropathy Reduces Foot Strength and Intrinsic but Not Extrinsic Foot Muscle Size

Table 3

Functional foot strength comparisons between DPN and CON (mean ± SD). Doming (DOM), great toe flexion (GTF), and lateral toe flexion (LTF) were expressed in raw units (N) as well as normalized to body mass.

DPNCON value

DOM (%BW)0.241
 DOM ()0.887
GTF (%BW)0.032
 GTF ()0.058
LTF (%BW)0.006
 LTF ()0.012
