Examination time-distance characteristics of gait and pelvic kinematics in individuals with Diabetic polyneuropathy: a case-control study.

Background: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) disrupts body and movement biomechanics, increases mechanical stress during walking, and predisposes individuals to injuries owing to the repetitive effects of these stresses.

Aims: This study aimed to assess and compare the impact of neuropathy on gait and pelvic kinematics in individuals with DPN.

Methods: This case-control study included two groups: 23 individuals diagnosed with DPN aged between 35-70 and 23 healthy individuals aged-35-70.

The effectiveness of a back school program in lowerlimb amputees: a randomized controlled study.

Background/aim: A few studies have been carried out in lower limb amputees (LLAs) and they examined the incidence of and reasons for low back pain. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a back school program in LLAs with mechanical low back pain (MLBP).

Materials And Methods: Forty male unilateral transfemoral amputees with MLBP were randomly allocated into two groups.
