SUMMARY
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases, characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, actionor both. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of differentorgans, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. In long standing cases of both diabetes type 1 and 2, about 60 % individuals had diabetic neuropathy. Patients suffering from diabetes are more prone to fall, possibly due to balance issues and sensory ataxia.

Time Frame
Start Date: 2023-07-17
Estimated Completion Date: 2024-02-12
Participants
Target number of participants: 32
Treatments
Experimental: Neurodynamics
Neuro dynamics involving Stretching and gliding of the Sciatic nerve (performing each exercise for 30 s at a slow and comfortable pace of 1 repetition per \~3-4 s. The participants rested for 60 s between each exercise. The total duration of the interventions was approximately 10 min.).The whole treatment session on a single day will be of 40-60 minutes of duration (involving both aerobic exercise + neurodynamics) 3. times a week for 6 weeks according to the American diabetes association, accumulating a minimum of 150 minutes/week.
Experimental: Aerobic training
Aerobic exercise will involve warm-up by stretching and flexibility exercises for 5 minutes, Treadmill walking for 6 minutes, and Stationary bicycle for 6 minutes
