Descrição
Inclusion Criteria:
- Individuals with a confirmed clinical diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%) (Bolen et al., 2016).
- Participants with a diabetes duration of more than 10 years (Grewal et al., 2015).
- Participants exhibiting signs and symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (such as numbness, tingling, burning, shooting or electric shock-like pain, and glove-and-stocking distribution), confirmed using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument with scores of 6-8 (patient version) and 2.5-4 (physical assessment) (Haque et al., 2022).
- Participants aged between 40 and 75 years (Rasool et al., 2024).
- Both male and female participants will be eligible for inclusion (Haleem et al., 2024).
- Participants currently using insulin-sensitizing medications (e.g., metformin, Diamicron, insulin).
- Participants who are able to stand and walk independently (Allin et al., 2020).
- Participants with a Berg Balance Scale score ranging from 25 to 40 (Phyu et al., 2022).
- Participants willing to provide informed consent (Lepesis et al., 2023).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) will be excluded (Daud et al., 2021).
- Those with cognitive deficits (such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease) that may interfere with comprehension or compliance with study procedures will not be included (Hatton et al., 2019).
- Individuals presenting with foot drop or other neurological disorders (e.g., stroke, myelopathy, or cerebellar ataxia) that could affect the study findings will be excluded (Khurshid et al., 2025).
- Patients who have recently undergone surgery, sustained trauma to the feet or lower limbs, or have any foot amputation will not be eligible (Collings et al., 2023).
- Individuals diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis or orthostatic hypotension will be excluded (Khurshid et al., 2025).
- Patients with active diabetic foot ulcers or notable musculoskeletal deformities (such as scoliosis or degenerative joint disease) will be excluded (Lepesis et al., 2023).
- Individuals with neuropathy unrelated to diabetes, including cases associated with alcohol use or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, will not be included.
- Participants taking medications that may provoke vertigo or disturb balance (for example, aspirin) will be excluded.

Experimental: Group A (Perturbation Based Training on Firm Surface)
Manual perturbations will be applied in four directions: right lateral, left lateral, forward, and backward.
Training will be performed in progressive positions, starting from sitting, advancing to kneeling, and then to standing.
Contrast bath therapy will be administered for a total duration of 20 minutes.

Manual perturbations will be applied in four directions: right lateral, left lateral, forward, and backward.
Training will be performed in progressive positions, starting from sitting, advancing to kneeling, and then to standing.
Each session will include two sets of perturbation training, 5 minutes per set and a 10-second rest interval provided between successive perturbations.
The intervention will be conducted three days per week on alternate days, with a total of 10 perturbations delivered per session.
Total treatment time will be 45 minutes.
Progression to more challenging positions will occur once the patient demonstrates adequate balance control following manual perturbations.
The total duration of the treatment program will be four weeks.
Contrast bath therapy will be administered for a total duration of 20 minutes.
The protocol will involve immersion in cold water (60-70°F) for 1 minute followed by warm water (100-105°F) for 3 minutes, repeated for five cycles.

|
Comparador Ativo: Group B (Perturbation Based Training on Rolling Board)
Manual perturbations will be applied in multiple directions while the patient stands on a rolling board.
During the procedure, the therapist will manually perturb the rolling board to challenge the patient's balance.
Initially, the training will be conducted within parallel bars for safety and will later be progressed outside the bars as the patient's balance improves.
The total duration of the treatment program will be four weeks.
Contrast bath therapy will be administered for a total duration of 20 minutes.

Static and dynamic balance
Prazo: Baseline and Week 4
|
Static and dynamic balance will be measured using the standard Berg Balance Scale, a widely used clinical tool for assessing balance performance and fall risk.
It consists of 14 functional tasks, including sitting, standing, reaching, turning, and transferring, with each item scored on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4. Higher total scores indicate better balance ability.

Reactive balance
Prazo: Baseline and Week 4
|
The Mini-Balance Evaluation System Test (Mini-BESTest) will be used to assess reactive balance and postural control.
It evaluates different balance systems, including anticipatory adjustments, reactive responses, sensory orientation, and dynamic gait, through functional balance tasks.
|
Baseline and Week 4
|
|
Risk of Fall
Prazo: Baseline and Week 4
|
The Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) will be used to assess functional mobility and fall risk.
In this test, participants are timed while standing up from a chair, walking 3 meters, turning, returning, and sitting down again, with longer completion times indicating greater fall risk.
