“…Conventional balance training programmes, which are often characterized by repetition and lack of variety, have shown poor rates of engagement. Conversely, different methods of balance training, such as Tai-chi, softball, and line dancing, have shown enhancements in balance, mobility, and overall quality of life [Mao et. al, 2023).…”

Aims & Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Vestibulo-Postural Training Using a Bipodalic Stabilometric Platform in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methodology: Thirty-two participants were randomly allocated into either Level Bipodalic Stabilometric Training Group (LBSTG) or Tilted Bipodalic Stabilometric Training Group (TBSTG), using a computer-generated randomization sequence. The study's approach to evaluating postural control in individuals with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) involved a precise methodology using a state-of-the-art ProKin 252 balancing platform (ProKin 252, TecnoBody, Italy). Results: The study revealed that while the LBSTG training did not produce a significant change in postural control for individuals with DPN, the TBSTG training led to a significant improvement. These results highlight the potential benefits of incorporating challenging balance tasks into rehabilitation programs for individuals with DPN to enhance postural control and stability. Conclusions: this study advocates for the importance of innovative balance training interventions in enhancing the stability and mobility of patients with DPN, potentially leading to improved clinical outcomes in the management of this condition.

Background Chronic pain conditions impose significant burdens worldwide. Pharmacological treatments like opioids have limitations. Non-invasive non-pharmacological therapies (NINPT) encompass diverse interventions including physical, psychological, complementary and alternative approaches, and other innovative techniques that provide analgesic options for chronic pain without medications. Main body This review elucidates the mechanisms of major NINPT modalities and synthesizes evidence for their clinical potential across chronic pain populations. NINPT leverages peripheral, spinal, and supraspinal mechanisms to restore normal pain processing and limit central sensitization. However, heterogeneity in treatment protocols and individual responses warrants optimization through precision medicine approaches. Conclusion Future adoption of NINPT requires addressing limitations in standardization and accessibility as well as synergistic combination with emerging therapies. Overall, this review highlights the promise of NINPT as a valuable complementary option ready for integration into contemporary pain medicine paradigms to improve patient care and outcomes.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease that causes pain, reduced mobility, and impaired quality of life. This study compares the efficacy of kinesthesia and balance exercises with isometric strengthening versus vestibulo-postural training using a bipodalic stabilometric platform with isometric strengthening in improving muscle strength and functional independence in knee OA patients. Methods: Thirty subjects with knee OA, aged between 30-60 years, were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 (n=15) received kinesthesia and balance exercises along with isometric strengthening exercises, while Group 2 (n=15) received vestibulo-postural training using a bipodalic stabilometric platform combined with isometric strengthening exercises. Both groups performed their respective exercise regimens three times a week for four weeks. Outcomes measured included quadriceps and hamstrings strength using the Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) grading system and functional independence using the Barthel Index score. Results: Group 2 demonstrated significantly greater improvements in quadriceps strength (mean change: 1.34 vs. 0.40; p < 0.001), hamstrings strength (mean change: 1.07 vs. 0.20; p < 0.001), and Barthel Index score (mean change: 20.54 vs. 5.5; p < 0.001) compared to Group 1. The between-group analysis confirmed that vestibulo-postural training with isometric strengthening was significantly more effective in enhancing muscle strength and functional independence in knee OA patients. Conclusion: Vestibulo-postural training using a bipodalic stabilometric platform combined with isometric strengthening exercises significantly improves muscle strength and functional independence in knee OA patients compared to kinesthesia and balance exercises with isometric strengthening. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating dynamic and challenging balance exercises into OA management strategies to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life..
