Effect of Sensorimotor Exercises in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Participants Having Impaired Lumbar Proprioception

Brief Summary

Background and Purpose of Trial

Diabetes Mellitus is the most prevalent disorder now a days. There are so many macro and microvascular complications are associated with Diabetes mellitus. Out of which one microvascular complication is diabetes neuropathy. Due to diabetic neuropathy, there is chances of risk of fall, gait deviation and proprioception deficit in the patients. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the prevalence rate of lumbar proprioception deficit among type 2 diabetes mellitus and to find out the effect of sensorimotor exercises on improving lumbar proprioception in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methodology

A total of 200 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were included in the study to find out the prevalence rate of lumbar proprioception deficit. After the prevalence rate is found in order to find out the effect of sensorimotor exercise on improving the lumbar proprioception in type 2 diabetes mellitus, participants with impaired lumbar proprioception were randomly assigned and divided into two groups. Group A received Sensorimotor exercises and Group B received normal Lumbar ROM exercises. The two groups with impaired lumbar proprioception received their own treatment five times per week, for four weeks, for 40 minutes each time. Changes in pain and functional performance evaluation were examined by the numeric pain rating scale for pain and Oswestry Disability Scale for functional disability and lumbar range of motion for lumbar proprioceptive deficit.
