Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common disorder affecting quality of life with impairment in sensory and motor function, where the strength is absolutely weak with decreased stability and mobility of the lower limb. There are only less number of studies have focused on gait and balance in subjects with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Hence this study is under taken with an attempt to analyze effect of stability trainer on balance and gait in subjects with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy. OBJECTIVES: 1. To find out the effectiveness of stability trainer exercises with conventional physiotherapy on balance and gait in patients with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy. 2. To find out the effectiveness of conventional physiotherapy on balance and gait in patients with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy. 3. To find out the difference between effectiveness of stability trainer exercises with conventional physiotherapy and conventional physiotherapy alone on balance and gait in patients with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy. METHODOLOGY: Study Design: The study design is pre and post test experimental study design. Study Setting: The study is conducted at the Department of Physiotherapy, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, under the supervision of the guide, College of physiotherapy, SRIPMS, Coimbatore. Study Duration: The study duration is One year. Sample Design: Purposive sampling. Participants and methods: The total of 30 subjects with type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy will be assigned in two groups with 15 subjects in each group. Group A: This group will receive Stability Trainer Exercise and Conventional Physiotherapy. Group B: This group will receive conventional physiotherapy alone. CRITERIA FOR SAMPLE SELECTION: INCLUSION CRITERIA:: • Age 50-60 years. • Both gender (male and female). • Able to make unipedal stance for 20 seconds. • Ability to complete 2 min walk. • Strength of both lower limb muscles at least MRC grade 3. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: • Patients with vestibular dysfunction. • Central nervous system dysfunction. • Musculoskeletal deformity. • Cardiovascular problems. • Planter ulcer. • Visual defects. RESULTS: There was significant difference between pre to post readings of DGI and BBS in both groups. In pre to follow up readings there was significant difference with DGI and BBS. CONCLUSION: Our study shows that stability trainer exercise is more effective in improving gait and balance in type2 diabetes mellitus patient when compared with conventional exercise alone.
