简要总结
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effectiveness of Manual Neurodynamic Techniques (MNT) in improving motor and sensory recovery among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus suffering from tibial, peroneal, and sural neuropathies. Forty participants will be randomized into two groups: Group A receiving MNT plus standard physiotherapy, and Group B receiving standard physiotherapy alone. Primary outcomes include muscle strength (MRC grading), sensory function, and neuropathic pain, while secondary outcomes assess gait, balance, functional independence, and nerve conduction velocity. The study aims to address gaps in nerve-specific rehabilitation, providing evidence for integrating MNT into physiotherapy care for diabetic neuropathy.
