Botulinum Toxin Effects on Plantar Ulcer Recurrence
February 1, 2012 updated by: Mary Hastings, PT, DPT, ATC, Washington University School of Medicine
The purpose of this grant is to collect pilot data to assess the amount of botulinum toxin that needs to be injected into the calf muscles of subjects with diabetes mellitus, peripheral neuropathy, and a plantar ulcer to decrease muscle strength.
We hypothesize that a decrease in plantar flexor muscle strength will temporarily decrease plantar pressure.
The decrease in plantar pressure will provide temporary protection to the new tissue as it gains tolerance to high stress with the long term potential outcome as a decrease in the ulcer recurrence rate.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Plantar Flexor Muscle Strength
Time Frame: Pre-treatment, 2 weeks after injection, upon ulcer healing, 3 months and 6 months after ulcer healing
|
Concentric plantar flexor torque was assessed using the Biodex System 3 Pro Orthopedic Testing & Rehabilitation dynamometer.
Plantar flexor peak torque was measured at 60 deg/sec, which is comparable to the angular velocity of the ankle joint during the stance phase of walking.
Three trials of each foot were completed.
Peak torque was calculated as the average of the two highest torque values across trials and results were expressed as Nm.
A positive value represents an increase in torque while a negative value represents a decrease in torque.

Pre-treatment, 2 weeks after injection, upon ulcer healing, 3 months and 6 months after ulcer healing

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Barefoot Plantar Pressure
Time Frame: pre-injection, 2 weeks post injection, post healing, and 3 and 6 months post healing
|
Novel emed pressure platform was used for data collection.
A two-step method of data collection was used and a minimum of two trials of each foot were recorded.
The plantar pressure map was divided into 3 horizontal masks using Percent Mask software and peak plantar pressure was determined for the forefoot region.
Results are expressed in N/cm^2.
