Effects of Whole-body Vibration Therapy on Type 2 Diabetic Patients With and Without Polyneuropathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to show how whole body vibration training practiced for 12 weeks affects the levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin -10 (IL_10), in Type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with and without peripheral neuropathy.

Detailed Description
Volunteers with type 2 diabetes mellitus with and without peripheric neuropathy will be evaluated in terms of any contra-indication that will restrain them from making exercise with whole body vibration device. 90 male or female volunteers who are suitable in terms of inclusion/exclusion criteria will be invited for the study. Volunteers will be randomly distributed to one of the 3 groups. Each group will contain 30 participants. 1st group and 3rd group will include type 2 diabetic patients with peripheric neuropathy and 2nd group will include type 2 diabetic patients without neuropathy. Patients in group 1 and 2 will make static isometric exercises on vibration platform whereas patients in group 3 will make the same exercises on land in the hospital setting. Participants will be requested to complete 3 months of exercise. They will be evaluated before and at the end of the 3 months of exercise with physical measures such as waist and hip circumference, 6-minute walk test, body composition measured by bioimpedance, muscle thickness, and blood tests to measure inflammatory biomarkers.
