Feldenkrais vs. Task Oriented Gait Training on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Conditions: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Ages: 45 Years – 55 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 40
Sponsor: University of Faisalabad
Location: The University of Faisalabad Faisalābad Punjab Province
Summary
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) causes balance problems, falls, and sensory loss in the feet. This study compares two non-drug exercise programs to see which works better. The first program is Feldenkrais exercises, which focus on movement awareness and retraining the brain. The second program is Task Oriented Gait Training, which practices specific walking tasks. Researchers will measure balance, joint position sense, touch sensation, fear of falling, and quality of life. Forty participants will be split into two groups. The study will last 12 weeks.
