ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of sensorimotor training on gait, ankle joint proprioception, and quality of life in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients.DESIGN:
A prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled experiment was performed. Forty patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy aged 50-65 yrs were distributed randomly into two groups, the sensorimotor training group ( n = 20), and the control group ( n = 20). Both groups attended awareness sessions about diabetes and foot care for 30 mins, every 2 wks. Moreover, the sensorimotor training group received 6 wks (3 d/wk) of sensorimotor training. Spatiotemporal gait parameters, proprioception accuracy of the ankle joint, and quality of life were measured before and after 6 wks of intervention.RESULTS:
Regarding baseline data, no significant differences were identified among groups ( P > 0.05). After 6-wk intervention, the sensorimotor training group exhibited significant improvements in all outcome variables ( P < 0.001), while the control group showed significant changes in quality of life only ( P = 0.03). Comparing groups after intervention reveals statistically significant differences in all measured variables in favor of the sensorimotor training group ( P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
Sensorimotor training may improve spatiotemporal gait parameters, ankle joint proprioception, and quality of life of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
