BACKGROUND: Follow-up report of secondary outcomes of a randomized, single-blinded, parallel controlled trial that investigated the benefits of a foot-ankle therapeutic exercise program on foot-ankle kinematics, plantar pressure, and lower limb kinetics during gait in individuals with diabetic neuropathy (DPN). METHODS: Sixty-six participants with DPN were randomly allocated into a control group (CG; n = 31), which received usual care, and an intervention group (IG; n = 35), which received usual care plus a 12-week group-based foot-ankle exercise program. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 12 weeks by an assessor blinded to group allocation. RESULTS: The generalized linear mixed model and intention-to-treat analysis revealed a greater hip extensor moment at push-off and greater hallux contact area in the IG than CG after 12 weeks. A within-group analysis revealed a larger arch height during stance and higher peak pressure and pressure-time integral at the central forefoot region in the IG after 12 weeks compared to baseline. There were no other significant group difference or changes over time in foot-ankle kinematics or in any other joint moment related to overall lower limb biomechanics. CONCLUSION: The increases in hip moment at push-off and hallux surface contact area suggest an improvement in the propulsion phase with greater participation of the toes in foot rollover after 12 weeks of a group-based foot-ankle exercises program for people with DPN. Individual face-to-face, longer-term, and more intensive interventions may be needed to positively influence foot-ankle biomechanics and pressure parameters in other plantar areas.
