Efficacy of exercise on balance, fear of falling, and risk of falls in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Effectiveness of Rebounder and Foot-ankle Exercises on Biomechanics and Quality of Life in Peripheral Neuropathy Patients

“…These results were consistent with the findings of Kankanasamut et al [29], Sartor et al [31], Fayed et al [32], Cerrahoglu et al [33], Jorgetto et al [8], Jiang et al [3], Prokai et al [1], de Oliveira Lima et al [34], and Monterio et al [10]. Kankanasamut et al [29] demonstrated that eight weeks of weight-bearing exercises increases vibration perception.…”

“…These explanations have been confirmed by de Oliveira Lima et al [34] who have investigated the efficacy of physical activities on balance, fear of falling, and the risk of falling in patients with peripheral neuropathy and discovered that a mixture of activities, for instance, walking, balance, and functional training improves balance, fear of falling, and standard of living in DPN patients but not their risk of falling.…”

Wearable Sensor for Assessing Gait and Postural Alterations in Patients with Diabetes: A Scoping Review

“…Both nervous and vascular alterations are significant long-term complications in patients with diabetes, and they account for significant morbidity and mortality and the risk of falls, so the evaluation of gait and posture in patients with DPN and vascular problems in feet, leading to alterations in biomechanical spatiotemporal variables of gait, is clinically important to diagnose and tailor interventions to reduce the adverse outcomes [42][43][44][45][46]. Meta-analysis results suggest that DPN patients expended a longer period of time in the stance phase compared to patients with diabetes without DPN and healthy individuals [39].…”
