Study of the Efficacy of Neural Mobilizations to Improve Sensory and Functional Responses of Lower Extremities in Older Adults with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Using Plithogenic n-SuperHyperGraphs

Abstract

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is an aggravation of diabetes mellitus, which consists of ulcers and loss of sensitivity in the lower limbs. In its most severe stage, the person's limb may be amputated, which causes disability. This is a disease with multiple causes and whose treatment requires several solutions, including drug treatment, physiotherapy, and re-education of the person to change to a healthy lifestyle, if necessary, where the need for adequate nutritional habits appears. It is due to such complexity that we selected the Plithogenic n- SuperHyperGraph as a tool to represent the collected data, which were processed with the help of the multi-way log-linear model for contingency tables. For the first time, these three theories are combined to solve a real-life problem.
