The role of joint mobility in evaluating and monitoring the risk of diabetic foot ulcer

Highlights • Ankle range of motion decreases as the risk of ulceration increases. • Reduced ankle range of motion represents an early risk factor of foot ulceration. • Diabetes seems to affect particularly ankle plantar flexion. • Aging seems to affect particularly ankle dorsal flexion. • Ankle join...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Ankle range of motion decreases as the risk of ulceration increases. • Reduced ankle range of motion represents an early risk factor of foot ulceration. • Diabetes seems to affect particularly ankle plantar flexion. • Aging seems to affect particularly ankle dorsal flexion. • Ankle joint mobility is a useful indicator for monitoring the risk of foot ulcer.
