Abstract

Introduction. diabetic foot syndrome (dFS) is one of the most common complications of diabetes. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the distribution of superficial temperature and microcirculation in the feet of patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods. 52 patients (the study group) with type 2 diabetes participated in the study, diagnosed by a physician while treated at “Centrum Medyczne” Provincial Specialist Healthcare Centre as part of the diabetic Foot Syndrome Prevention Programme. The control group included 33 patients without diabetes. Superficial dorsal and plantar temperature of both feet was measured in all participants. The measurements were taken using a ThermoVision FLiR SYSTEM T335. Results. in both study groups, the temperature of the dorsal side of the foot was higher than the temperature of the plantar side. The observed difference in the control group was clearly larger than in the group of diabetic patients, and amounted to 1.7°C and 1.0°C. in the patients with diabetes the plantar temperature was higher by an average of 2.2°C, and the dorsal temperature was higher by an average of 1.5°C compared to the control group.

用热视觉法评价2型糖尿病患者足部表面温度分布

介绍。糖尿病足综合征(dFS)是糖尿病最常见的并发症之一。本研究的目的是评估2型糖尿病患者足部表面温度和微循环的分布。方法:52例2型糖尿病患者(研究组)参加了这项研究，这些患者在“Centrum Medyczne”省专科医疗保健中心接受治疗时被医生诊断为糖尿病足综合征预防计划的一部分。对照组为33例无糖尿病患者。测量了所有参与者的双脚表面背温和足底温度。使用热视红外系统T335进行测量。结果。在两个研究组中，足背侧的温度高于足底侧的温度。对照组的差异明显大于糖尿病组，分别为1.7°C和1.0°C。与对照组相比，糖尿病患者的足底温度平均高出2.2℃，背部温度平均高出1.5℃。结论

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Quarterly ISSN 2544-4395 (formerly Fizjoterapia ISSN 1230-8323) is an international scientific peer-reviewed journal, published in both paper and electronic format by the University School of Physical Education in Wroclaw, Poland. The original version of the journal is its paper issue. The Editorial Office accepts original papers on various aspects of physiotherapy and rehabilitation for publication. Manuscripts in basic science and clinical physiotherapy science are published at the highest priority. Letters to the Editor, reports from scientific meetings and book reviews are also considered. Physiotherapy Quarterly publishes papers that show depth, rigor, originality and high-quality presentation. The scope of the journal: evidence-based rehabilitation; the mechanisms of function or dysfunction; modern therapy methods; best clinical practice; clinical reasoning and decision-making processes; assessment and clinical management of disorders; exploration of relevant clinical interventions; multi-modal approaches; psychosocial issues; expectations, experiences, and perspectives of physiotherapists. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research articles are welcomed, together with systematic and high-quality narrative reviews.
