Therefore, in this randomised controlled trial we evaluated whether lower\u2010extremity strength training can reduce plantar pressures in diabetic polyneuropathy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was embedded in an unblinded randomised controlled trial. Participants had diabetes and polyneuropathy and were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n\u2009=\u200948) receiving strength training during 24 weeks, or the control group (n\u2009=\u200946) receiving no intervention. Plantar pressures were measured in both groups at 0, 12, 24 and 52 weeks. A random intercept model was applied to evaluate the effects of the intervention on peak pressures and pressure\u2013time\u2010integrals, displacement of center\u2010of\u2010pressure and the forefoot to rearfoot pressure\u2013time\u2010integral\u2010ratio.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Plantar pressure patterns were not affected by the strength training. In both the intervention and control groups the peak pressure and the pressure\u2013time\u2010integral under the forefoot increased by 55.7 kPa (95% CI: 14.7, 96.8) and 2.0 kPa.s (95% CI: 0.9, 3.2) over 52 weeks, respectively. Both groups experienced a high number of drop\u2010outs, mainly due to deterioration of health status and lower\u2010extremity disabilities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Plantar pressures under the forefoot increase progressively over time in people with diabetic polyneuropathy, but in this study were not affected by strength training. Future intervention studies should take this increase of plantar pressure into account and alternative interventions should be developed to reduce the progressive lower extremity problems in these patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Trial registration<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was embedded in a clinical trial with trial number <jats:ext-link
