- Abstract
- Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of diabetic neuropathy (dNP) on the distal versus proximal comparison of weakness in lower and upper limb muscles of patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Methods: 19 healthy male controls without neuropathy (HC) and 35 male T2DM patients, without dNP (n=8), with sensory dNP (n=13) or with sensorimotor dNP (dNPsm; n=14). were enrolled in this study. Maximal isometric (IM) and isokinetic (IK) muscle strength and IK muscle endurance of the dominant knee, ankle and elbow, and maximal IM handgrip strength were measured by means of dynamometry. Results: Ankle muscle endurance was lower compared to the knee, independently of dNP (p<0.001). Maximal IK ankle muscle strength was also lower compared to the knee. albeit only in dNPsm (p=0.003). No differences were found between maximal IM handgrip and elbow strength. Conclusions: Our results suggest an impact of T2DM -with or without dNP- on lower limb muscle strength more distally than proximally, while this was not observed in the upper limb. The gradient of dNP seemed to be a determining factor for the maximal muscle strength. and not for muscle endurance, in the lower limb.
