Summary

This study evaluated whether a 12-week multisensory training program could improve movement control, balance, and sensory function in women with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Nineteen women aged around 68 years were randomly assigned to either a training group or a control group. The training group participated in supervised sessions twice a week for 12 weeks. Before and after the intervention, several measures were taken, including muscle activity, balance tests, and sensory perception tests.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Selected Multisensory Training (SMST)

A 12-week supervised exercise program involving two 40-minute sessions weekly. The program includes proprioceptive challenges on progressively firmer surfaces, vestibular activation with gait drills and head movements, and visual tracking tasks. Intensity progresses every three weeks by increasing surface instability, adding handheld weights, and reducing visual input (eyes open to eyes closed). The intervention aims to improve neuromuscular activation, balance, and sensory integration in older women with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
