Abstract :

Background– Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication and quality–of–life damaging factor in diabetic patients. Some exercise interventions with balance and muscle strengthening components have been shown to reduce falls it is not known which elements or a combination of elements, of exercise interventions are most effective for improving balance in Diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Objective– To compare the improvement in balance with balance training exercise versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation exercise & balance training exercise Method– Subject was screened using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument. Forty (40) individuals of both the sexes in the age group of 40–60 years were included & randomly allocated in two groups ( Control & Experiment). Each participant underwent a clinical evaluation on Berg Balance Scale (BBS) at 1st day, 4th week and at 8th week. Exercises were performed daily for 8 weeks under supervision of therapist and advised at home. Each exercise session lasted for 45mins to 60mins. Result– Balance was significant to improve by balance training exercise group but the combined effect of PNF exercise and balance training appeared to have a greater effect on balance control. Conclusion– PNF exercises should be emphasized along with balance training exercises in the daily exercise regime of diabetic peripheral neuropathy subjects to improve their mobility and functional status.
