Dr. Janhavi Atre, Dr. Suvarna Ganvir

Abstract :

Introduction: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy affects a large number of populations and leads to complications like numbness, pain, tingling and burning sensations in toes and feet. Many exercise interventions are available in literature for treating these symptoms. Decision of a particular exercise intervention however is a tedious task due to unavailability of recent systematic review. Hence, this study was undertaken to describe exercise interventions administered on patients with diabetic neuropathy. Methodology: Literature search was carried out using PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane and Science Direct databases to retrieve research articles about exercise interventions in diabetic neuropathy. The studies were evaluated with respect to various exercise interventions in diabetic neuropathy. Results: After full text analysis of 32 articles, 10 studies were eligible for in depth analysis. Different treatment approaches were investigated and outcome measures like NCV,Berg Balance Scale,6 MWT,TWT, Time Up and Go Test,Star Excursion Balance Test etc. were used in these studies. Conclusion: Aerobic training in combination with other exercises was found to be used more widely in reducing symptoms of diabetic neuropathy
