Whole-Body Vibration Versus Kineso Tape on Nerve Conduction in Patient With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Whole-Body Vibration Versus Kineso Tape on Nerve Conduction in Patient With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
The purpose of the study was to compare between effect of whole-body vibration and kineso tape on nerve conduction in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Diabetes is a huge and rapidly growing health problem worldwide. In 2019, International Diabetes Federation ( IDF) estimated that the number of people with diabetes was 463 million and expected to be 578 million by 2030, and 700 million by 2045. Two-thirds of people with diabetes live in urban areas, and one in five people with diabetes is above 65 year.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the most prevalent complication of diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of DPN ranges from 21.3 to 34.5% in type 2 DM (T2DM) and between seven to 34.2% in type 1 DM (T1DM).
The high incidence and prevalence of falls among older people with type 2 diabetes mellitus were identified as poor diabetic control, diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and balance impairment.
Study performed by Ahmed et al., reported that Kinesio tape and resistive exercise improve the dorsiflexors and functional performance in diabetic polyneuropathy.
A randomized controlled trial showed that WBV showed beneficial effects on pain, balance, and quality of life in patients with painful Diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
But till know no study reported us whole body vibration better than kineso or vice versa.
