MOE and DNSE Effects on Balance and Activities of Daily Living Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

The 30-minute Otago Exercise Program, involving both balance and strength training, followed by further 15 minutes of walking as part of the modified-OEP group intervention will be given. The 15-minute walk will be completed by walking continuously at an appropriate pace in the approximately 15-meter exercise room. Participants will be told to walk 15 meters, execute a U-turn to the left, walk 15 meters, and then execute a U-turn to the right at the next turning point to create the same effect on the stated benefit of symmetry while turning left and right. For twelve weeks, the intervention will be given three times a week.

The Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises (DNS) twice a week for 60 minutes each time for 12 weeks. A five-minute warm-up, a fifty-minute exercise plan, and a five-minute cool-down comprised the program. Static stretching was used for the cool-down and dynamic stretching for the warm-up. DNS training is conducted in three levels. Level 1 (1 to 4 weeks) includes: (1) dynamic stretching (2) baby rock (3) breathing (4) rolling. Level 2 (5 to 8 weeks) includes: (1) oblique sit (2) aqua bag tripod (3) aqua bag sitting (4) aqua bag kneeling. Level 3 (9 to 12 weeks) include: (1) aqua bag high kneeling (2) static stretching (3) aqua bag standing
