I came across this on the internet and was startled by it. Does evidence about the benefits of strengthening the diabetic foot exist which has not been published, or have I just missed it?

Here are some extracts from the piece.
"ABSTRACT
The "Total Toe", a training device for the toe flexor muscles, can reduce foot amputations for diabetics. Regular training has been shown to counteract muscle regression and reduce peak pressure under the foot - reducing problematic ulcerations and resulting foot amputations."
"Development proceeded from a number of scientific studies on strength ability and functional adaptation of toe-bending musculature in physically active individuals. Clinical utility was documented in examinations of diabetic patients."
"The training device was chosen for first place in the “Technologies for Healthy Movement” innovation competition at the German Sport University Cologne by an external panel of expert judges."
