This study examined the effects of balance exercises performed with the Biodex Balance System (BBS) on nerve conduction, sensory symptoms, and muscle strength in patients with diabetes-related neuropathy.
We enrolled twenty-seven patients in this study. Patients in the intervention group (n=14) performed exercises using the computerized BBS. The control group (n=13) was just informed about diabetes self-management. All patients underwent pretest and posttest peripheral nerve conduction studies. Sensory examination performed by using 5.07 Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments and 128-Hz tuning fork. Muscle strength measurements obtained with manual dynamometer
617 studies on the registry are indexed under Diabetic Neuropathies; 91 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 27 is below the median of 73 across 510 interventional studies indexed under Diabetic Neuropathies.

Exclusion Criteria:
This group performed exercises using the biodex balance system
Device: Biodex Balance Exercise System
This group was informed about diabetes self-management.
Patients in the intervention group (n=14) performed exercises using the computerized BBS. The control group (n=13) was just informed about diabetes self-management.
The effect of biodex balance training on muscle strength was evaluated.
Muscle test was evaluated with a manual dynamometer. The measurements of both groups before and after the training were compared.
Time frame: Change from baseline to 8 weeks
The effect of biodex balance training on protective senses
Protective senses was assessed with monofilament and 128 Hz tuning fork
Time frame: Change from baseline to 8 weeks
The effect of biodex balance training on motor nerves
Nerve conduction test was assessed with electromyograph
Time frame: Change from baseline to 8 weeks
