Summary
This study looked at whether adding foot exercises to aerobic exercise helps people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their legs. 74 participants were split into three groups: usual medical care, aerobic exercise only, or aerobic exercise plus foot exercises. The goal was to see changes in ankle stiffness, muscle strength, and nerve pain symptoms over 12 weeks of training and 12 weeks of follow-up.
