Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the comparative effects of intraneural facilitation therapy and nerve flossing technique on pain, balance, gait, and quality of life in Diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Intraneural Facilitation Therapy

* The initial hold, known as the facilitation hold, involves placing the contralateral joint in a maximal loose-pack position that will be comfortable for the patient. An illustration of this would be positioning the ankle joint on the contralateral side in full plantar flexion and inversion. Throughout the entire session, this position will be maintained using a stretch strap. It is crucial to emphasize that there is no muscle engagement in the joint where the facilitation takes place, only a slight stretch. * Once the pressure elevation occurs, the subsequent phase known as the secondary hold will be initiated to direct the augmented flow of epineurial blood toward the transperineurial vessels connecting the epiperineum and the endoneurial capillaries of the target area. * The final maneuver, the sub hold, leverages Bernoulli's principle to augment blood flow through the ischemic endoneurial capillaries experiencing heightened transmural pressure.

Nerve Flossing Technique

Tibial Nerve: 1. Passively flex the hip while dorsiflexing and everting the ankle to create tension; flex the knee to unload, then extend and plantarflex to reload. 2. Flex the hip, extend the knee, and dorsiflex and evert the ankle to induce tension; flex the hip to unload, then extend and plantarflex to reload. 3. Lift the leg, flex the hip, and extend the knee; dorsiflex and evert the ankle to induce tension, then plantarflex to unload. Common Peroneal Nerve: 1. Passively flex the hip and plantarflex and invert the ankle to induce tension; flex the knee to unload, then extend and dorsiflex to reload. 2. Flex the hip, extend the knee, and plantarflex and invert the ankle to induce tension; flex the hip to unload, then extend and dorsiflex to reload. 3. Lift the leg, flex the hip, and extend the knee; plantarflex and invert the ankle to induce tension, then dorsiflex to unload.
