简要总结
Postmenopausal diabetic women have significant balance deficits and increased fall risk. Whole-body vibration may improve balance in these population but needs further research. The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of whole-body vibration on balance in postmenopausal diabetic women.
详细描述
Background: Menopause is characterized by reduced androgens produced by ovaries, which negatively affect women health including metabolism and quality of life (QoL) and sexual function. Purpose: This study investigates the effect of whole-body vibration on balance and QoL in postmenopausal diabetic women. Methods: Forty postmenopausal women with diabetic neuropathy will participate in this study aged from 50 to 65 years. They will be randomly distributed into two equal groups: Group A (study group): will receive whole body vibration (WBV) and balancing exercise. Group B (control group): will receive the same balancing exercises as group A. The treatment will be performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Dynamic balance will be assessed by Biodex Balance System (BBS) that assesses (Overall stability index [OSI], anteroposterior stability index [APSI] and mediolateral stability index [MLSI)], Berg Balance test (BBT) and Time up and go test (TUG). Quality of life will be assessed by menopous specific in Quality of Life questionnaire before and after the treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
OSI
时间窗: pre and after 3 months of intervention
TThe BBS measures, in degrees, the tilt about each axis during dynamic conditions and calculates a medial-lateral stability index (MLSI), anterior-posterior stability index (APSI), and an overall stability index (OSI). The OSI score is believed to be the best indicator of the overall ability.
