ANALYSIS OF PLANTAR MUSCLE STRENGTH AND ACTIVITY IN PEOPLE WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES AFTER A STRENGTHENING PROGRAM: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED CROSS-OVER CLINICAL STUDY

Data set for an investigation into strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the feet in type 2 diabetic volunteers. All volunteers signed an informed consent form. The muscle strength of the flexors of each toe was collected through three maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MIVC) of 10 seconds each, with a rest interval of one minute. The values of the maximum voluntary isometric force minus the minimum force exerted at rest on each toe in three muscle contractions were subtracted from the electromyograph. From this number, the mean and standard deviation were extracted.
