Effects of Strength And Balance Training on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Strength and balance training and Aerobics training for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A Randomized Control Trial was conducted on 20 participants, equally allocated in strength plus balance and aerobic group from February-2020 until December-2020.Participants were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria on purposive sampling technique and randomization was done by sealed envelope method. Inclusion criteria was both gender, 40 years to 80 years, Patients with type 2 diabetes ,diabetic peripheral neuropathy and Toronto neuropathy score 6 or greater. Participants were assessed after taking consent before and after 12 sessions through Toronto clinically neuropathy system, SF-36 and berg balance scale. Data was analyzed using SPSS v.22.

Timeline
Interventions
Passive ROM to possible level of knee (flexion and extension), ankle (dorsiflexion and plantar flexion), forefoot (inversion and eversion) and toe (flexion and extension, adduction and abduction) joints.Resisted flexion and extension of knee, dorsiflexion and planter flexion of ankle, inversion and eversion of foot, flexion/extension, and abduction/adduction of toe with help of thera-band.The exercise prescription for strength training was made at approximately 50% of the estimated 1-RM. Exercise progression was achieved by instructing participants to increase the weight lifted in a specific exercise when they could perform 2 sets of 10-12 repetitions without maximal exertion on 2 consecutive training days. On basis of Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion of 10 to 13.Tandem leg stance for first 2 weeks and then it was progressed to Single leg stance toe and heel stance.For dynamic balance:backward walk Tandem walk and sideways walk.
After the baseline assessment, the participant in the Group B received Aerobic exercise with routine medical care. All patients were followed for 3 days a week for 8 weeks treatment. Control Group received aerobic training. Control group received stretching exercise for 10 minutes and then treadmill walk for 10 minutes and then stationary bicycle for 10 minutes, and steppers for 10 minutes and 5 minute cool down .
