Qigong versus Otago exercises for balance in diabetic neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two gentle exercise programs — qigong and the Otago program — to see which one better improves balance and reduces falls in people with diabetic nerve damage. Participating may help you find a safe way to stay active and lower your risk of falling.
