ABSTRACT
| Background and Purpose: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the nerve damage that is mainly caused by diabetes. It most often damages the nerves in the legs and feet. The main purpose of the study is to compare the functional strength training and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on balance and gait in diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The aim of the study is to compare the functional strength training and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on balance and gait in diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Method: it is a quasi experimental study with 30 subjects of age group 50 to 70 years of both sexes are selected from the outpatient department of JKK Munirajah Medical Research Foundation, College of Physiotherapy, Komarapalayam. Group A of 15 subjects receives Functional strength training; Group B of 15 subjects receives Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Pre and post intervention were assessed by Berg balance scale and Dynamic gait index scale. Result: Group A diabetic neuropathy patient included in the study completed the 15 sessions of functional strength training were re-evaluated at the five month follow-up. The two-tailed P value is less than 0.0001, by conventional method; this result shows that it is extremely statistically significant. Conclusion: This study concludes that the functional strength training has improvement of the body’s balance and gait during treatment. Keywords: Functional strength training, Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, Berg balance scale, Dynamic gait index. |
