Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this research work, the concept of strengthening technique of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) incorporated with tendon gliding exercise (TGE) will be used to improve neuromuscular function of upper extremity of patients with diabetes mellitus. The first specific aim of the study is to examine the effects of home-based PNF exercise on the motor, sensation and functional performance parameters of upper extremity of the patients with diabetes mellitus. In addition, whether adding a tendon gliding exercise (TGE) to the home-based PNF exercises can provide better treatment effects for the patients with diabetes mellitus will also been investigated in this study. One of the hypothesis of this study is the prescribing home-based PNF exercise program has a positive treatment effect on neuromuscular function of the upper extremity of patients with diabetes mellitus. And,the other is home-based PNF in conjunction with TGE provides better benefits for neuromuscular function of the upper extremity of patients with diabetes mellitus.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PNF exercise program group

The PNF home-program exercise group: perform grade 1\&2 two times a day, at least 3 times per week, for 3 sets of 12 repetitions to increase neuromuscular and musculoskeletal endurance. (Grade 1: The participants performs the diagonal- spiral pattern that will enhance the strength or movement of a targeted muscle or muscle group.; Grade 2:The participants performs PNF exercise with elastic bands . )

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

lifestyle changes

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Providing a home-based exercise program supervised by therapists can be an acceptable strategy with the characteristics of convenience and inexpensiveness to promote neuromuscular and functional component for the patients with diabetes mellitus.

PNF in conjunction with tendon gliding exercise group

Patients in PNF in conjunction with TGE group will perform PNF grade 1\&2 as well as tendon gliding exercise two times a day, at least 3 times per week, for 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Training duration for both the two groups is twelve weeks.
