Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major public health problems that account for morbidity, mortality, and disability worldwide. The presence of DM increases the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD), as well as accelerates its course, making these patients more susceptible to ischemic events and impaired functional status. Unfortunately, alternative treatments for vascular complications in diabetes are poorly researched. Physiotherapy (kinesitherapy combined with different physical therapy agents) in individuals with DM and coexisting PAD may offer an important complementary therapy alternative. Early therapeutic measures can significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce cardiovascular risk, and improve daily life quality. The article provides an update on the current state of knowledge on physiotherapy interventions in the course of DM in patients with coexisting PAD.
糖尿病(DM)是全球发病率、死亡率和残疾率的主要公共卫生问题之一。DM 的存在增加了外周动脉疾病(PAD)的风险,并且加速了其进程,使这些患者更容易发生缺血事件和功能状态受损。不幸的是,针对糖尿病血管并发症的替代治疗方法研究不足。在患有 DM 和并存 PAD 的个体中,物理疗法(运动疗法结合不同的物理治疗剂)可能提供一种重要的补充治疗选择。早期治疗措施可以显著改善患者的预后,降低心血管风险,提高日常生活质量。本文就并存 PAD 的 DM 患者的物理治疗干预的最新知识进行综述。
