Summary

The aim of this study is to determine comparative effects of balance and resisted training on pain and balance in patients with daibetic peripheral neuropathy.

Detailed description

This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Mumtaz Bakhtawar Hospital in 7 months after the approval of synopsis. The sample size for this trial will be 58 patients with DPN. Participants those meet inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated into two groups using online randomization tool, 29 participants will be assigned to Group A which will receive Balance training exercises for 35 minutes and Group B will receive Resistance Training exercises for 45 minutes. Each participant will receive intervention for 3 alternate days per week for 8 weeks. The Michigan neuropathy screening instrument will be used for the assessment of DPN symptoms scores at baseline. Balance will be evaluated using the De Morton mobility index (DEMMI) test, while painDIRECT tool will be utilized to measure pain. The data will be entered and analyzed using SPSS version 24 for windows software.

Conditions

• Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Balance exercises	Balance exercises includes active movements (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction) of one upper extremity and lower extremity, trunk movements (bending forward and rotation), raising heel, raising toes and raising heel. Every move in each session will be hold for 30 seconds. The part B comprises of training i.e., holding positions in standing posture which include moving the ball up and down in a straight line with two upper extremities, moving the ball up and down in an oblique line with two upper extremities, moving the ball forward and backward with left and right lower extremities, moving the ball laterally with left and right lower extremities, throwing the ball against the wall with hand and throwing the ball against the wall with foot.
OTHER	Resisted exercises	The resistance training protocol include shoulder flexion and extension with 1 kg weight, shoulder pulley with 2 kg weight, arm curls with 1 kg weight, wall push-ups, bridging, hip abduction and adduction against resistance band, knee extensions and flexion in sitting position with resistance applied by contralateral limb, knee adduction and abduction with resistance band, mini squats, strengthening exercise for toes flexor and extensor (22), resisted inversion and eversion and straight leg raise (SLR) with 1 kg ankle weight (10). Every move in each session comprises of 2 sets of 3 reps each and 1 set will be added at 4th and 8th week.
