Summary

This study tested whether a special set of exercises, called modified Otago exercises, could help people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet. 38 participants did these exercises for 8 weeks, and researchers measured their balance, joint position sense, blood sugar, cholesterol, and physical fitness. The goal was to see if these exercises could improve daily function and reduce fall risk.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
modified Otago exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, these exercises could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve balance and reduce fall risk in people with diabetic neuropathy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise programs require ongoing effort and may not work for all individuals.
