Effects of vibro-medical insoles with and without vibrations on balance control in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract：

:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a total-contact insole with and without subthreshold mechanical random noise on the balance control in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate peripheral neuropathy. Twenty diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate neuropathy was recruited to this study. A total-contact insole was prototyped and vibratory motors were embedded into it. The parameters of the center of pressure (amplitude, velocity, and phase plane portrait) were analyzed after 30-minute walks with the shoe only, the shoe with vibro-medical insole with and without vibrations in eyes open and closed condition. The center of pressure amplitude, velocity, and phase plane portrait in the anterior-posterior and medio-lateral directions were significantly decreased using a vibro-medical insole without vibration in the eyes open condition (p < 0.05), as compared to the shoe, and with vibro- medical insole with vibration in both eyes open and closed conditions (p < 0.05) compared to the shoe. A significant drop was observed in the center of pressure amplitude, velocity and phase plane portrait parameters when the vibro-medical insole with vibration was used compared to vibro- medical insole without vibration in eyes closed condition (p < 0.05). The use of vibro-medical insoles was found to improve the patient's balance control, as compared to the shoe. In the eyes closed condition, an improvement in the balance control was observed only with vibro-medical insole with vibration rather than vibro-medical insole without vibration or the shoe. Current finding suggest that a combination of the total-contact insole with vibration may improve the balance control remarkably in diabetic patients with mild-to-moderate neuropathy.
