Brief Summary

Sixty elderly diabetics (type II) their age ranged from 60-75 years had been divided into two equal groups; group (A) treated by 40-minute passive stretching exercises, while the group (B) treated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks. Blood glucose level,Time up and go test (TUG) and Fatigue severity scale were done before and after 12 weeks of the study.Conclusion: Both electrical stimulation and passive stretching are effective to lowering blood glucose level and can be proposed for those people restricted to perform exercise.

Conditions

Type II Diabetes

Keywords

blood glucose; electrical stimulation; lower extremities; passive stretching; exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• an HbA1c .

  blood glucose levels glycated haemoglobien

  at baseline and after three month

• fasting blood glucose levels

  values were obtained for fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels/baseline, then 2 hours after the meal (postprandial).

  at baseline and after three month

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• time of up and go test

  at baseline and after three month

• score of fatigue severity scale

  at baseline and after three month

Study Arms (2)

group (A)

EXPERIMENTAL

treated by 40-minute passive stretching exercises,three times per week for 12 weeks

Other: passive stretching for group A

group (B)

EXPERIMENTAL

treated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks

Other: electrical stimulation for group b

Interventions

passive stretching for group A OTHER

A description of stretch is performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The stretches included (in the order they were applied): Seated knee flexor (bilateral); Seated knee flexor-hip adductor (bilateral); Seated shoulder lateral flexor (bilateral); Supine hip flexor- knee extensor (unilateral). Seated hip external rotators, extensor (unilateral); Seated shoulder extensors, adductors, retractors (unilateral). Supine knee flexor-plantar flexor (unilateral); Prone hip flexor (unilateral); Seated shoulder flexors, depressors (bilateral); Seated shoulder and elbow flexors (unilateral).

Also known as: passive stretching exercises for group A

group (A)

electrical stimulation for group b OTHER

reated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks

group (B)
