Effect of sensorimotor training on balance and fatigue in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus-Randomized control trial

Background

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a widespread metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and associated with complications such as impaired balance and increased fatigue. These issues reduce mobility, independence, and quality of life, especially in older and obese individuals. Sensorimotor training is a therapeutic approach that enhances proprioception, balance, coordination, and postural stability by targeting neuromuscular control. It may also improve muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance, helping reduce fatigue. This study uses the Berg Balance Scale to measure balance, the Fatigue Severity Scale, and the Visual Analogue Scale to assess fatigue levels in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus individuals.

Purpose of the Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Sensorimotor Training in improving balance and reducing fatigue in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. While conventional exercise programs have shown benefits in diabetes management, the specific impact of sensorimotor on postural control and fatigue remains underexplored. This study aims to determine whether Sensorimotor training can serve as an effective, low-cost, and non-invasive intervention to enhance functional capacity and reduce fall risk. By using validated tools like the Berg Balance Scale,Fatigue Severity Scale, and Visual Analogue Scale, the study seeks measurable outcomes to support Sensorimotor’s clinical relevance.
