Effectiveness of Foot Exercise People With Type 2 Diabetes
Condition: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; Peripheral Neuropathy
MeSH terms: Peripheral Nervous System Diseases; Diabetes Mellitus; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The aim of this study will to investigate the effect of foot exercises in patients with type
      2 diabetic and peripheral neuropathy. Subjects will be randomly allocated to either the
      control or intervention group. Data will be collected using investigator-developed forms:
      patient information form and the diabetic foot exercises log. Patients in the intervention
      group will be received standard treatment and performed foot exercises for three times a week
      8 weeks; the control group will be received standard treatment but no exercises. The
      intervention and control groups will be examined and measured at the 4th and 8th weeks.
    

Detailed description: 
      Purpose of our study investigation of the effects foot exercises in patients with type 2
      diabetic and peripheral neuropathy.

      Excepted results: Routine treatment + foot exercises pain, flexibility, edema, muscle
      strength, sensation, quality of life we believe that there will be good progress in
      peripheral neuropathy effects, Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and signs(LANSS)
      results.

      In this context, it is planned that patients randomly divided into 2 groups. Group 1 control
      group. Group 2 intervention group. Patients in the intervention group will be received
      standard treatment and performed foot exercises for three times a week 8 weeks. The patients
      will be evaluated by clinical measurements and scales based on patient notification at the
      4th and 8th weeks.
