In African countries, there is a paucity of reports that describe MSK disabilities in diabetic patients. To best of my knowledge no previous studies had been conducted to assess the effect of any treatment of MSK manifestations in diabetic patients or to evaluate the predisposing factors. This study is therefore proposed to determine the effect of rebound exercises and circuit training on musculoskeletal pain, as well as selected biochemical and psychosocial factors among individuals with type 2 diabetes.
