简要总结
The study aimed to clarify the effect of virtual reality-based balance training on balance in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy compared to conventional physical therapy.
详细描述
A randomized control trial will be conducted at the study setting Safi Hospital Faisalabad after the approval of the synopsis. The study will be a single-blinded randomized control study. A convenient sampling technique will be used for the enrollment of the patient. Patient selection will be done based on defined insertion and omission criteria.
Two groups would be made, the intervention group would receive the virtual gaming exercise tutoring and the control group would receive the regular physiotherapy exercises.
The evaluation of the patients will be done at the start of the study, after six weeks, and after twelve weeks. Follow-up will be in the 16th weeks after the cessation of therapy.
The patient's outcome will be measured on Berg Balance Scale and the Single Leg Stance test and the patient's data will be recorded before and after treatment, comparisons between before the treatment and after the treatment data will be made after 12 weeks. Informed consent/approval would be taken from each patient. Analysis and entry of data will be done by Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 22 Software.

结局指标
主要结局
Berg balance scale
时间窗: 12th Week
The Berg Balance Scale is used to objectively determine a patient's ability or inability to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a 14-item objective measure that assesses static balance and fall risk in adults. Berg balance scale scoring ranges from 0 to 56. The lower your score, the more at risk you are for losing your balance. In general, Berg balance scale scores are interpreted as such: 0 to 20: A person with a score in this range will likely need the assistance of a wheelchair to move around safely.
Single leg standing test
时间窗: 12th Week
Single leg standing test used to assess static postural and balance control. ... Client must stand unassisted on one leg, timed from the time the other foot leaves the ground till when the foot touches the ground again or the arms leave the hips. Participants unable to perform the one-leg stand for at least 5 seconds are at increased risk for injurious fall.
