J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(2):333–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2010.10.0197 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD. 2010.10.0197JSP Aim – Investigate effects of balance exercises on sway indices in diabetic patients with neuropathy. Relevance – Peripheral neuropathy is common complaint of diabetes. – Peripheral neural damage in turn will cause balance impairments in diabetic patients.

J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(2):333–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2010.10.0197 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD. 2010.10.0197JSP Methods Examined 10 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy and 10 nondisabled age-matched subjects for balance abilities. – Used Biodex Balance System. Experimental group – Performed 10 sessions of Biodex stability and rocker and wobble-board training with eyes open and closed. – Retested after intervention.

Balance indices were significantly higher in experimental group than in control group before intervention. No significant difference in indices between the two groups after intervention.

These patients rely more on visual inputs, so training should emphasize closed-eye exercises.
