“…Ayaklar kas gücü ve deformiteler açısından incelendiğinde; fleksiyon, ekstansiyon hareketlerinde zayıflık olduğu ve ülser olan ayakta bu eklem kısıtlılığının daha fazla olduğu tespit edildi. Yapılan diğer çalışmalarda, DM hastalarının ayaklarında deformite ve eklem hareketlerinde kısıtlılık bulunmuştur (25,29,32). Ayak yapılarındaki bu değişim ayak sağlığını olumsuz etkilemektedir.…”

Objective: We conducted this study to determine the factors that cause foot ulcers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) with or without diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study compared the feet examination results of 43 Type 2 DM patients with or without DFU. The study data were collected using a patient identification form and a diabetic foot examination form. Data are presented as percent, mean, and standard deviation. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used for statistical analysis. The statistical significance level was taken as p<0.05. Results: Of the patients, 63% were male, 79% were married, their mean age was 63.16±9.43, and the mean diabetes year was 18.44±7.77. 74% of the patients had a previous DFU. Of the existing DFU, 58% were on the right foot, 49% were on the toes, 49% were Wagner grade 2, and 37% were infected. There was edema and warmth in the DFU foot (p<0.05). DFU foot had a weaker sense of touch and vibration than the other. Ankle-Brakial Index was below 0.9. Foot pulses were weak, and there were deformities. Conclusion: Patients with DFU feet have an increased risk of recurrent ulcer formation. These patients should be followed periodically and educated about ulcer formation and signs and symptoms of infection.
