Background: To investigate the difference of the plantar temperature change following exercise in diabetic patients and controls.
Methods: Seventeen diabetic patients and thirty-three normal controls were chosen as the experimental subjects and were made to undertake exercise for 26 minutes on a treadmill with the same diabetic shoes. Before and after exercise and five minutes after exercise, the plantar temperature was recorded and the difference of the plantar temperature change following exercise in diabetic patients and controls were evaluated by using AGEMA research 2.1 programs.
Results: 1. The plantar temperatures of all diabetic patients and controls were significantly increased following exercise (P＜0.05). 2. The plantar temperature change of controls were significantly higher than that of diabetic patients following exercise at bilateral second and third metatarsal head area (P＜0.05).
Conclusion: We found that the plantar temperatures of diabetic patients increased more slowly than those of controls, following exercise.
