Summary:
To compare the Effects of Modified Otago Exercise and Action Observation Training on strength, functional mobility and fall risk in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Primary Outcome Measures: Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI), To determine neuropathy, Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI) developed by the researchers at the university of Michigan in 2000, used to diagnosed peripheral neuropathy. It includes two parts; section A is self-administered by the patient and assess the clinical symptoms through 15 Yes or No questions and section B is used on a clinical evaluation. The questionnaire inquiries about positive (pain, temperature sensation and tingling) and negative (numbness, sensory symptoms, cramps and muscle weakness, foot ulcer or cracks and amputation. Neuropathy can be defined as seven or more positive responses on the MNSI questionnaire. The test-retest reliability of the Turkish version of the MNSI was determined as 0.99 for the total score (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.996), 6 months|30 second chair stand test, 30 second chair stand test assesses the leg strength and endurance in older adults.it is part of the stop elderly accidents, deaths, and injuries which was created by centers for Disease Control and Preventions a screening tool for senior belonging to the high fall risk group .it has excellent test-retest reliability r=0.89(95%confident interval 0.79-0.93)The test measures the number of times and older adults can get up from a chair with their arms crossed in front of their trunk(on the opposite shoulder crossed at the wrists)in 30 seconds., 6 months|The timed up and go test, The timed up and go test is to identify mobility and balance. Patients sitting in a chair without armrest will be asked to stand up with the start command and walk the 3-meter distance, whose start and end points are specified before, turn around and sit on the chair again. The test will be repeated 3 times and the average time will be recorded. The TUG test showed excellent reliability (ICC\>.95) The Timed -up and go‖ test showed good intrarater and interrater reliability (r = .93 ). less time taken by patient will be graded as good mobility, 6 months|Fall Efficacy Scale International:, Fall Efficacy Scale International:

It is a common test battery with 16 items that reveals the possibility of falling in patients. The total score ranges from 16 to 64, where 16 indicates NO concern and 64 indicates EXTREMELY concerned about falling during the performance of specific activities suggested by the questionnaire., 6 months
