Otago exercises for type 2 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program, called OTAGO, can improve balance and strength in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help reduce falls and improve your ability to move around safely.

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.
This study tests whether adding special movement exercises (called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to standard Otago exercises can help improve balance and reduce the risk of falls in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet.
This trial studies a fall prevention program for older adults with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if it reduces falls and improves safety.
