No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trail to compare and analyze the effects of both whole body vibrator (WBV) and Tai Chi program on static and dynamic postural balance variables of the diabetic population. The purpose of the study is to determine that whether whole body vibrator is more evident for promoting functional independency and improving balance in diabetic neuropathy. Hence distinguishing choices to prevent fall and advancing functional independency by using the appropriate intervention without using extreme loads.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Neuropathies

Interventions

OTHER

Whole body vibration group

Experimental Group will receive WBV training and balance exercises under the supervision of a physical therapist by using a vibration platform. Balance exercises include: Double leg stance with eyes open and eyes closed 10 Reps \* 3 minutes Tandem walk for 3 minutes Sideways walk for 3 minutes Single leg stance for 1 minute with 5 Reps, with 30 sec rest interval WHOLE BODY VIBRATION: The patient stood on the platform with his/her feet barefoot shoulder width and stared at the front, delivered on a side alternating vibration platform in an intermittent way: five repetitions of 1 min vibration followed by a 1 min rest. The vibration frequency and amplitude were 20 Hz and 3.0 mm respectively. These outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, and after 4 week and at 8th week

Hold the ball ward off 2: Grasping the sparrows tail left; 3.Grasping the sparrows tail Right;; 5.Repulse Monkey; 6. Part wild horse's Mane; 7.Brush knee Twist step; 8.Lift kick left; 9.Lift kick Right; 10.Cross hands with double leg stance 1st and 2nd week will last for 5reps, 3rd and 4th week will last for 10reps,5th and 6th week will last for 15reps,7th and 8th week will last for 20reps, starting with 10 minutes warming- up and ending with 10 minutes cool-down. These outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, and after 4 week and at 8th week
