“…A comprehensive yogic breathing program has been shown to improve the physical, psychological, and social domains and total quality of life in people with diabetes taking oral hypoglycemic drugs (OADs),[106] and is recommended as an effective complementary or integrative therapy program for diabetes management. [107108] Table 5 summarizes the important yoga practices and their advantages.…”

Although several evidence-based guidelines for managing diabetes are available, few, if any, focus on the psychosocial aspects of this challenging condition. It is increasingly evident that psychosocial treatment is integral to a holistic approach of managing diabetes; it forms the key to realizing appropriate biomedical outcomes. Dearth of attention is as much due to lack of awareness as due to lack of guidelines. This lacuna results in diversity among the standards of clinical practice, which, in India, is also due to the size and complexity of psychosocial care itself. This article aims to highlight evidence- and experience-based Indian guidelines for the psychosocial management of diabetes. A systemic literature was conducted for peer-reviewed studies and publications covering psychosocial aspects in diabetes. Recommendations are classified into three domains: General, psychological and social, and graded by the weight they should have in clinical practice and by the degree of support from the literature. Ninety-four recommendations of varying strength are made to help professionals identify the psychosocial interventions needed to support patients and their families and explore their role in devising support strategies. They also aid in developing core skills needed for effective diabetes management. These recommendations provide practical guidelines to fulfill unmet needs in diabetes management, and help achieve a qualitative improvement in the way physicians manage patients. The guidelines, while maintaining an India-specific character, have global relevance, which is bound to grow as the diabetes pandemic throws up new challenges.

“…It has been found in previous studies that exercises positively affect reaction time, but the effect of Pilates exercise on RT has not separately been studied. Yoga has similarities with Pilates exercises [15]; studies [19,20] have shown that yoga improves reaction time by enhancing sensory-motor conduction velocity & the processing ability of the central nervous system. This has physiological as well as clinical significance as the persons with stroke will be able to react faster to any external stimuli from the environment which may be a causative factor to their loss of balance and result in a fall.…”

Background and Purpose: Stroke rehabilitation targets functional retraining of the limbs along with balance and gait. Even after extensive rehabilitation, up to 50% of stroke survivors experience motor deficits and balance problems that linger due to which the individuals are at high risk of falls. Trunk impairments though common do not manifest themselves as an individual problem and can impact balance. The purpose was to study the effect of Pilates mat exercises on balance and limits of stability in chronic stroke patients. It was hypothesized that since core training is not the point of focus in stroke rehabilitation, training the same through Pilates method could give better improvements in balance.Subjects and Methods: 9 individuals were randomly allocated to either Pilates exercise group (PG, n=5) or Control Group (CG, n=4).the CG attended a regular rehabilitation program for stroke & the balance exercises were progressed week-wise. The PG, in addition to conventional treatment, attended 18 Pilates exercise sessions over a period of 6 weeks (3 sessions / week). Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment Scale (POMA) and Limits of Stability (LOS) including Reaction Time (RT), End Point Excursion (EPE), Maximum Excursion (MXE), Movement Velocity (MVL), and Directional Control (DC) were measured before and after the exercise program & compared to assess the training effects.[Results]: Pilates exercises positively affected both dynamic balance and LOS in Chronic Stroke patients. For LOS, the RT (0.0427) and MXE (0.0292) components showed significant improvement in the PG while the improvements in CG were not significant. Other components of LOS-EPE, MVL, DC showed improvements clinically in both PG and CG but were not statistically significant via unpaired 't' test. For dynamic balance, the improvements in POMA score were more in PG than CG (p=0.05) and were significant. Conclusion: This pilot study provides initial evidence that Pilates exercises may help improve balance and LOS in chronic stroke patients.

The diabetes disease burden in LMICs underlines the need for conducting more research directed towards addressing this disease among the countries that are most affected by it. Several interventional studies have empirically supported the role of yoga in the management of diabetes. We have specifically reviewed the pre and post-interventional studies among diabetics for scrutinizing the methodological rigour of such studies. A comprehensive search of research paper was done using sources such as PubMed, Google scholar and Svyasa digital database. The selected papers were screened by title and abstract while the full text was checked to decide the inclusion. This study review unpacks the methodological rigour of 7 eligible studies that navigate the topic of yoga and its relevance for diabetes under pre and post-study designs. This critical review underlines the methodological areas that need to be strengthened such as the need to standardize the yoga intervention by providing adequate justification for employing certain asanas and pranayama, the sequence in which it is administered, supervision throughout the intervention period etc. Such standardization will help generalize the findings of yoga and enhance its application as an effective intervention to mitigate the health problems resulting from diabetes.
