Abstract: Diabetes is the most common form of hereditary condition and can develop at any age. Physiotherapists have been exploring different forms of exercise intervention, like balance exercise, resisted exercise, aerobic exercise. Despite the number of studies showing evidence on particular intervention towards outcome measure, evidences are still needed for proving usefulness of balance training as a treatment for of diabetic patients.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of exercise intervention with improving balance in patient with diabetes.
Intervention: 51 individuals with diabetes were included and allocated to three groups (n=17). Groups were administrated with Resisted exercise, Balance exercise along with Conventional therapy and Conventional therapy alone for 4 weeks (5 days per week). Functional Reach Test Score and Balance Evaluation Test Score were used to assess changes between baseline and post intervention.
Results: The Control group (Group C) was associated with significant greater changein balance than Group A and Group B. The Scores of the functional reach test, have shown a significant change in all the three groups with (p < 0.05) but, the changes in scores of BES Test were not significant.
Conclusion: There was no additional effect of adding resisted therapy or balance therapy over conventional therapy on improving balance in Diabetic population.
