Otago exercises for people with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple exercise program, called the Otago exercises, can improve balance and strength in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have had type 2 diabetes for at least a year and do not have any major health issues that affect movement, this study may help you stay active and reduce fall risk.

This study compares two exercise programs—Qigong (a gentle movement practice) and Otago (balance and strength exercises)—to see which helps people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet and legs improve their balance and walking ability.
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.
This study tests two simple programs—Otago exercises (leg and balance movements) and a fear-reduction technique—to help people who had a stroke improve balance, reduce falls, and overcome fear of falling. It is designed for those still able to walk and in the early weeks of recovery.
