Filter by:The aim of work is to study the clinical, electrodiagnostic and neurosonographic characteristics of diabetic patients with small fiber neuropathy in the Egyptian population, and to evaluate both the diagnostic and the prognostic impact of the studied factors on the neuropathy severity and quality of life.
This study was planned to examine the effect of home-based mini trampoline exercise program on diabetic foot care behavior and diabetic polyneuropathy in Type 2 diabetes patients.
Sensorimotor diabetic polyneuropathy is a common and serious complication of longstanding diabetes mellitus. The therapeutic options are limited (pain therapy, antidepressants, physical measures using direct current such as two- / four-cell baths). In the present study, for the first time, after positive data from a pilot study, it is to be checked whether the effectiveness of an existing therapy can be extended by treatment with heated granulate stones in the rehabilitation setting.
This study evaluated the effect of joint position sense on compliance with the prosthesis, balance and functional performance in individuals with lower extremity amputation due to diabetic polyneuropathy. Study group consisted of 16 subjects with unilateral transtibial amputation due to diabetic polyneuropathy and control group consisted of 16 subjects with unilateral transtibial amputation due to traumatic reasons.
Aging is a natural process that is frequently accompanied by chronic physical or mental health problems. Aging as well as a sedentary lifestyle behavior may produce identical pathological and morphological changes. Saudi population, especially elderly people assume sedentary lifestyle, with little physical activity is a strong predisposition for developing a disability that adversely affects many aspects of physical and mental functions; mainly mobility and the ability to perform the basic daily living activities (ADL); resulting finally in increased risk of independence, loss of functionality, and falls. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a widespread chronic metabolic disorder, accounts for 90-95% of all patients with diabetes. It is one of the most life-threatening public health challenges in the world, characterized by long term complications that almost involves all systems of the body. Polyneuropathy is the most common symptomatic complication in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, found in 50 to 60 % of patients over the age of sixty, with the impaired glycemic control and deteriorated quality of life are among the most debilitating problems in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.
Aging can be defined as sequential deterioration that occurs in elderly people including weakness, loss of mobility, decline of physical capabilities, increase susceptibility to disease and many other age-related physiological changes .The beginning of old age in most developed countries is about 60 or 65 years old. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and most commonly type 2 DM is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases affecting old people in Saudi Arabia which might be resulted from decline in physical activities. Polyneuropathy (PN) and its serious consequences represent the most common complication in diabetic mellitus which could contribute to an increased gait abnormality and risk of falling.

So far, there are no sufficient pharmacologic therapies for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Therefore, we evaluated application of high-tone external muscle stimulation (HTEMS) compared to placebo treatment in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
This study is an experimental single centre study investigating the effect of VR on overall sleep quality and number of awakenings in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.
Patients with type 2 DM who are following will be enrolled into the study. Two visits were scheduled for data collection, physical examination and laboratory testing of the patients: the first prior to initiation of alpha lipoic acid (ALA) administration (baseline visit) and the second at the end of the third month following initiation of ALA (2nd visit).
