Gedetailleerde beschrijving
American Diabetic Association (ADA) defined Diabetes mellitus as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with dysfunction of various organs, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.
Most common among the neuropathies are chronic sensorimotor distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DPN) and autonomic neuropathies. According to ADA(American Diabetes Association), DPN(Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy) is "the presence of symptoms and/or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after exclusion of other causes. It is estimated that 60% to 70% of individuals with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nervous system damage.
DPN(Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy) causes decreased sensation, proprioception, reflexes, and strength in the lower extremities, leading to balance dysfunction. Physical therapy interventions utilized to reduce the balance dysfunction can range from restoration of the health of the neurons to sensory integration to compensatory strategies. Various treatment protocols include improving circulation, the guided practice of integrating internal and external sensory input, education on sensation loss and fall risk, instruction on home modifications, and introduction of assistive devices to minimize balance dysfunction.
A systematic and evidence-based search of relevant literature was performed by utilizing PubMed and Google Scholar as search engines.
Search term for the initial literature review was Diabetes mellitus, the prevalence of DPN(diabetic peripheral neuropathy), causes of peripheral neuropathies and loss of balance, the pathophysiology of diabetes-related peripheral neuropathy, treatment options for balance training, strengthening lower extremities, aerobics, cognitive approach. The search was limited to papers in English preferably published since 2000 with full text available. Different studies were available regarding balance exercises and their effects but limited data was available regarding BRACE ( Balance, Resistance, Anaerobic, and Cognitive Exercise) protocol as a whole in recent years.
Balance exercises are feasible and safe and have the potential to improve balance and gait. These should be used as supportive therapy for DPN patients. Lower extremity resistance (strengthening) exercises are fairly recommended for clinical use in treating balance dysfunction in patients with DPN than monochromatic infrared energy therapy, vibrating insoles, and use of a cane.
Previously, walking and weight-bearing were considered contraindicated in DPN patients to avoid foot ulcers, deformity, or fall risk. Emerging research has revealed positive adaptations in response to overload stress in these people, including evidence for peripheral neuroplasticity in animal models and early clinical trials.
According to WHO estimation, a number of individuals approximately 47 million worldwide have cognitive impairments which will increase to 75 million by 2030. A 2 years longitudinal study in Korea showed a significant association between cognitive decline and physical activity. Pain interference may be reduced following an aerobic exercise intervention among people with painful DPN, without a change in pain intensity.
Although, multiples researches have shown the effects of particular interventions on DPN still there is a lack of multi-component interventional studies to show the effects on balance issues.

Actieve vergelijker: Balance Training Home plan
The Control group is undergoing balance training only, 3 days a week, and will be for 8 weeks. Balance training includes 10minutes of warm-up and 30 minutes of balance exercises. A force plate will be used to measure the postural sways. Measurements will be taken at a base-line, after the first session, at mid-level (4th week) and at the end (8th week). These exercises include Static Balance exercises(1-2weeks): Romberg with eyes open & close, Tandem standing with eyes open & close with alternate feet, Single leg stance. Static/ Dynamic/ Anticipatory Postural Control (3-4weeks): Sit to Stand, FRT( forward reach test) that is forward, sideways, cross reach, and timed up and go test. Static/ Dynamic/ Anticipatory? Reactive Postural Control (5-6weeks): Perturbations: Controlled by the therapist in sitting & standing, Throwing a ball, kicking a ball. (7-8weeks): Combination of All |
therapy for the preservation, enhancement, or restoration of movement and physical function impaired or threatened by disease, injury, or disability that utilizes therapeutic exercise, physical modalities (such as massage and electrotherapy), assistive devices, and patient education and training.

Berg Balance Scale
Tijdsspanne: Up to 8 weeks
|
To objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of pre-determined tasks.
It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function with a total of 56 scores.
This scale is interpreted as 0-20 on the BBS represents balance impairment; 21-40 on the BBS represents acceptable balance; 41-56 on the BBS represents a good balance.
Measurements will be taken at a base-line, after the first session, at mid-level (4th week) and at the end (8th week).

TUG test
Tijdsspanne: Up to 8 weeks
|
The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance.[1] It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around 180 degrees, walk back to the chair, and sit down while turning 180 degrees. The scores of ten seconds or less indicate normal mobility, 11-20 seconds are within normal limits for frail elderly and disabled patients, and greater than 20 seconds means the person needs assistance outside and indicates further examination and intervention. A score of 30 seconds or more suggests that the person may be prone to falls. Measurements will be taken at a base-line, after the first session, at mid-level (4th week) and at the end (8th week). |

FRT test
Tijdsspanne: Up to 8 weeks
|
Functional Reach Test (FRT) is a clinical outcome measure and assessment tool for ascertaining dynamic balance in one simple task. In standing, measures the distance between the length of an outstretched arm in a maximal forward reach, while maintaining a fixed base of support. This information is correlated with the risk of falling. Measurement Interpretation: 10"/25 cm or greater Low risk of falls; 6"/15cm to 10"/25cm Risk of falling is 2x greater than normal; 6"/15cm or less Risk of falling is 4x greater than normal; Unwilling to reach Risk of falling is 8x greater than normal. Measurements will be taken at a base-line, after the first session, at mid-level (4th week) and at the end (8th week). |

MoCA
Tijdsspanne: Up to 8 weeks
|
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a widely used screening assessment for detecting cognitive impairment. MoCA scores range between 0 and 30. A score of 26 or over is considered to be normal. In a study, people without cognitive impairment score an average of 27.4; people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) score an average of 22.1; people with Alzheimer's disease score an average of 16.2. Measurements will be taken at a base-line, after the first session, at mid-level (4th week) and at the end (8th week). |

Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument
Tijdsspanne: Up to 8 weeks
|
The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) is designed to screen for the presence of diabetic neuropathy. The first part of the screening instrument, the history questionnaire, consists of 15 self-administered "yes or no" questions on foot sensation including pain, numbness, and temperature sensitivity. A higher score (out of a maximum of 13 points) indicates more neuropathic symptoms. The second part of the MNSI is a brief physical assessment (completed by health professionals). Patients screening positive on the clinical portion of the MNSI (greater than 2 points on a 10 point scale) are considered neuropathic and referred for further evaluation. A force plate will be used to measure the postural sways. Measurements will be taken at a base-line, after the first session, at mid-level (4th week) and at the end (8th week). |
