Limited joint mobility in Sri Lankan patients with non-insulin- dependent diabetes

Rheumatic‐musculoskeletal manifestations in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in south India

“…7 , of which the majority had type 1 DM. A study from Sri Lanka has described a strong association of T2DM with cheiroarthropathy 18 . Rosenbloom et al.…”

“…A study from Sri Lanka has described a strong association of T2DM with cheiroarthropathy. 18 Rosenbloom et al 19 have described an association between microvascular complications and cheiroarthropathy in patients with type 1 DM. There are not many studies looking at this association in the T2DM group.…”

Segmental foot mobility in individuals with and without diabetes and neuropathy

“…Reduced subtalar joint mobility, specifically inadequate calcaneal eversion has been documented in subjects with DM [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Reduced subtalar mobility may have significant biomechanical consequences [14,15] including increases in transverse tarsal joint rigidity predisposing to lateral column over-weighting.…”

Relationship between limited joint mobility of the hand and diabetic foot risk in patients with type 2 diabetes

“…[20][21][22]40 Limited joint mobility of the hand and foot sometimes coexist, and LJM of the foot may result in high plantar pressure and foot ulceration. [41][42][43][44] Francia et al 45 reported that ankle joint mobility was useful in identifying patients with diabetes at risk of foot ulcer, but the present study indicates that LJM of the hand is correlated with the foot risk classified using IWGDF criteria in patients with T2D. Formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts (AGEs) may be one of the common underlying factors for LJM of the hand and microvascular complications of diabetes, including DPN.…”
