We enrolled twenty-seven patients in this study. Patients in the intervention group (n=14) performed exercises using the computerized BBS. The control group (n=13) was just informed about diabetes self-management. All patients underwent pretest and posttest peripheral nerve conduction studies. Sensory examination performed by using 5.07 Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments and 128-Hz tuning fork. Muscle strength measurements obtained with manual dynamometer
This study examined the effects of balance exercises performed with the Biodex Balance System (BBS) on nerve conduction, sensory symptoms, and muscle strength in patients with diabetes-related neuropathy.
