Abstract
Abstract: The goal of this research was the efficacy of whole-body vibration (WBV) versus Kinesio tape on nerve conuction in the elderly with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Participants were divided into two groups at random: one for WBV and the other for Kinesio tape.
Methods: 60 participants with DPN, divided into two groups of thirty subjects each, were randomly assigned. WBV, balance, and resistance training were given to group A, while Kinesio tape, balance, and strength training were given to group B. The mean ± SD age of groups A and B were 55.33 ± 3.29 and 54.67 ± 3.62 years, respectively. Data on nerve conduction velosity ,amplitude and latency for sural and deep peroneal nerve were collected from both groups both prior to and following the therapy regimen.
Results: There no significant improvement in nerve conduction study in both group A and B After six weeks later, post-treatment (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: the study found that after six weeks of intervention, there was no significant improvement in nerve conduction velocity, amplitude, or latency in both the whole-body vibration (WBV) group and the Kinesio tape group for participants with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
