Cohort survey of lower extremity muscle strength and establishment of exercise therapy program to prevent for locomotive syndrome in elderly type 2 diabetic patients
Description: ①In elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, a significant decrease in knee extension force (KEF) due to Diabetic polyneuropathy was observed. ②Diabetic polyneuropathy can possibly accelerate decline in KEF in elderly diabetic patients on the basis of aging. ③Intraocular pressure during exercise does not change in a low-intensity exercise in young healthy people, but decreases at a medium- and a high-intensity exercise. On the other hand, in type 2 diabetes, a low intensity exercise showed the same response of intraocular pressure as normal subjects, but no decrease of intraocular pressure was observed at a moderate intensity exercise. ④Intensive exercise intervention by physical therapist may improve lower extremity muscle strength in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
