About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Proprioceptive Training on Plantar Pressure, Postural Balance, Posture and Gait in Individuals With Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) can be considered as one of the most important chronic diseases in the public health system, presenting a high cost for health services. Along with the increase in diagnosed cases of DM, there is a simultaneous increase in DM-related manifestations, such as peripheral diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot ulcers and amputations. Decreased plantar sensitivity caused by microvascular complications, reduced sensation of vibration and loss of pressure sensitivity may be associated with recurrent falls due to reduced proprioceptive feedback. Although much is known about the beneficial results of physical exercise on glucose metabolism and insulin action, there are still few studies that evaluate the effects of different types of physical exercise, especially proprioceptive training, on plantar pressure, balance and posture of individuals.

Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of proprioceptive training on plantar pressure, postural balance and posture in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Methods: This study is a randomized, double blind, controlled clinical trial (evaluator and statistician) with individuals of both sexes, with type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed for at least 3 years, over 45 years of age, that can walk without assistance or supervision of others. Two groups will be formed, the Control Group (CG) and the Trained Group (TG), and the ideal "n" will be calculated in a pilot study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Proprioceptive TrainingOther

    Also called Experimental

    Individuals in the Trained Group will perform the training twice a week for 45 minutes and perform for a period of 12 weeks.

    The training is divided into a pre-training phase where general hip dissociation exercises and simple stretching of the hip flexor and extensor muscle groups, knee, foot and paravertebral are performed.

    The second phase is the proprioceptive training, where it will involve training of balance, sensitivity and proprioception, being used a circuit composed of 15 stations, whose time of stay in each station is 2 minutes.

    And finally the third stage are relaxation exercises, performed with breathing exercises associated with slow active movements of the joints.

  • Control GroupOther

    Will not be submitted to any physical intervention. It continues in your daily life with only phone monitoring.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Plantar Pressure

    Modular baropodometric platform MPS (M.P.S. Loran, KINETEC), where plantar pressure variables are provided in (Kgf / cm²) and plantar surface area (cm²) provided by BIOMECH STUDIO software.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Balance

    Modular baropodometric platform MPS (M.P.S. Loran, KINETEC), where distance of C.O.P are provide in (mm) and average speed in (mm / sec), provided by BIOMECH STUDIO software.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. Posture

    Optoelectronic system (SMART DX100, produced by BTS Bioengineering, Milan, Italy)

    Measured: 1 hour

  4. Gait

    The Time Up And Go Test (TUG) was performed using the Wiva® Science sensor KINETEC® type inertial sensor

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plantar Sensitivity

    The tactile sensitivity will be evaluated in 4 plantar areas: medial forefoot, lateral forefoot, midfoot and hallux, using Semmes-Weinstein (10g) nylon monofilament (SORRI Bauru®).

    Test tubes containing cold and hot water for thermal sensitivity assessment and a clinical tuning for evaluation of vibration sensitivity will also be used.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Proprioceptive Training in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Kelly Antunes e Silva Oliveira at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Maria das Graças Araujo, PhD (+558121268939, mgrodriguesaraujo@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plantar Pressure (time frame: 5 minutes). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jan 2018.
