Balance and walking exercises for diabetic nerve damage
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two exercise programs (Otago and Beat it) to see which one better improves balance, walking, and quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet. If you join, you'll do one of these programs and help scientists learn which is more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in your feet (diabetic neuropathy) that causes symptoms like tingling or numbness.
- You are able to walk on your own for about 20 meters (65 feet).
- You have a moderate level of balance problems, as measured by a standard balance test (score between 46 and 52).
- You have not had a leg or foot fracture in the last 6 months.
- You do not have foot ulcers, infections, or amputations, and you have not had recent surgery on your knee, ankle, or hip.
