Abstract

Aims. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between the Peripheral Vibration Sensitivity  Threshold (PVST) and the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ).

Settings and Design. A descriptive cross-sectional study (ISRCTN16866781).

Methods and Material. A total of 88 people with DM type 2 were included in the statistical analysis, 55 men  and 33 women. Both groups were evaluated the PVST through the Vibratron II Biotensiometer and the Foot  Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ).

Statistical analysis used. To check that the groups were comparable at the baseline in terms of participant  characteristics and gender, were carried out a T-test for independent samples and a U-Mann Whitney  analysis. To establish the degree of correlation between the 8 dimensions of the FHSQ questionnaire and the  PVST, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used, given that the scores of the 8 dimensions of the FHSQ  followed a non-parametric distribution. To reduce the probability of committing a type I error, since it is a  multiple correlation, the Bonferroni correction has been applied, establishing the significance level at p<.006.

Results. There is no statistically significant association between the PVST and the dimensions of the FHSQ,  after applying Bonferroni's correction.

Conclusions. In this study no statistically significant association was found, after the application of Bonferroni's correction, between the recording of the Peripheral Vibration Sensitivity Threshold test and the  Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ).
