Use of Computed Tomography to Identify Muscle Quality Subgroups, Spatial Mapping, and Preliminary Relationships to Function in those with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Decreased muscle volume and increased muscle-associated adipose tissue (MAAT, sum of intra and inter-muscular adipose tissue) of the foot intrinsic muscle compartment are associated with deformity, decreased function, and increased risk of ulceration and amputation in those with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
