Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of sensorimotor training on balance measures and proprioception among middle and older age adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of sensorimotor training on balance measures, and proprioception, among middle-aged and older adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). ⋯ Sensorimotor training improved static and dynamic balance as well as proprioception measures after eight weeks of exercise intervention. Static balance showed greater improvement in the middle-aged than older aged adults, while dynamic balance and proprioception showed similar results for both.
