Diabetic foot is the most common problem among diabetic patients, mainly due to peripheral vascular and neuropathy induced capillary perfusion changes. These pathogenic factors cause superficial temperature changes that can be qualitatively and visually documented using infrared thermography (IRT). Hence, IRT can potentially be used to evaluate the diabetic foot. However, it is tedious to manually...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that requires regular medical care to prevent severe complications. The elevated blood glucose level affects the eyes, blood vessels, nerves, heart, and kidneys after the onset. The affected blood vessels (usually due to atherosclerosis) may lead to insufficient blood circulation particularly in the lower extremities and nerve damage (neuropathy),...

Background First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) mobility is commonly assessed by its angular displacement (joint angle) or subjectively rated as ‘hypermobile’, ‘normal’ or ‘stiff’ by a clinician. Neither of these methods is ideal because displacement alone does not take into account the force required to displace the joint and subjective evaluation is not always reliable. This study presented a...
