Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of foot-ankle exercise and walking exercise on foot neuropathy, stress, and quality of life (QoL) among people with diabetes mellitus (PWDM). At the same time, the secondary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of foot-ankle exercise and walking exercise on body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood pressure (BP), and ankle-brachial index (ABI) among PWDM at baseline (before intervention/0 week), at 6-weeks and 12-weeks. The research questions in this study include the following:

  • Is foot-ankle exercise effective for foot neuropathy, stress, QoL, BMI, FBG, BP, and ABI for PWDM?
  • Is walking exercise effective for foot neuropathy, stress, QoL, BMI, FBG, BP, and ABI for PWDM?
  • Are there any differences in the mean scores of foot neuropathy, stress, QoL, BMI, FBG, BP, and ABI of PWDM within and between the foot-ankle exercise, walking exercise and control group at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks?
  • Are there any mediators/moderators effect of BMI, FBG, blood pressure, ABI, and stress for influencing foot exercise and walking exercise interventions on foot neuropathy and QoL for PWDM? Participants in the foot-ankle exercise group will be given health education about DM and foot-ankle exercise, as well as leaflets and videos. Participants will be taught how to practice foot-ankle exercises before the instructor. Afterwards, participants will practice foot-ankle exercises independently without supervision for 2-3 sessions every day for 12 weeks. Participants in the walking exercise group will be given health education about DM, walking exercises and leaflets. Participants will practice walking exercises independently without supervision for 12 weeks. Participants are advised to do walking exercises with a minimum duration of 10 minutes for each session and 150 minutes/week. Two consecutive days without walking exercise are not allowed. Participants in the control groups will be treated as active control and given health education on general DM topics and leaflets. All groups received usual care according to standards provided by public health services. Researchers will compare the groups to see the effect of the interventions on foot neuropathy, stress, QoL, BMI, FBG, BP, and ABI at three different time points: at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Foot Neuropathy of People with Diabetes Mellitus

    Foot neuropathy will be measured by MNSI. MNSI consist of MNSI-A (questionnaire) and MNSI-B (physical examination). Foot sensation will be measured using Semmes Weinstein Monofilament 10g. Participants will be given a stimulus for 1.5-2 seconds at 10 points on both legs. The locations are heel, dorsal surface of the foot (between the bases of 1st-2nd toes), toes (1st, 3rd, and 5th), metatarsal heads (1st, 3rd, 5th), and midfoot (medial and lateral). The results range from 0-10. Foot vibration measurement using Tunning Fork 128Hz. The vibrating TF will be placed on each leg in 4 locations (medial, malleolus, great toe, fifth toe). Participants were asked to feel the vibrations and signal by raising their hands if they were no longer felt. The observer will record the time from when the participant feels the initial until it disappears. The results consist of whether the participant felt the vibration or not (0-4) and the length of time participants can feel the vibration (in seconds).

    Baseline (before intervention/0 week), at 6-weeks and 12-weeks

  • Stress of People with Diabetes Mellitus

    Stress will be measured using the Indonesian version of the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire. This study uses PAID Bahasa Indonesia, which we have previously tested for validity and reliability. PAID Bahasa Indonesia has 20 items and three factors, with a loading factor of 0.349-0.779 for each item. The results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) show valid and reliable results. Cronbach's alpha for all items is 0.858, inter-class correlation 0.938, RMSEA=0.058, and SRMR=0.062. PAID Bahasa Indonesia consist of five answer choices using a Likert scale (0-4). The answer choice scores used were 'not a problem' (0), 'minor problem' (1), 'moderate problem' (2), 'somewhat serious problem' (3), and 'serious problem' (4). The total score ranged 0-80, with a higher score indicating greater stress.

    Baseline (before intervention/0 week), at 6-weeks and 12-weeks

  • Quality of Life of People with Diabetes Mellitus

    QoL will be measured using the Indonesian version of the Diabetes Obstacles Questionnaire Short Version (DOQ-30) which we have previously tested for validity and reliability. DOQ-30 Bahasa Indonesia has nine factors and a 5-point Likert scale with answer options never (5), almost never (4), sometimes (3), often (2), and always (1). The total score ranges 30-150, with a higher score indicating a better QoL. Factors in the DOQ-30 are relationships with medical professionals, support from friends and family, knowledge of the disease, lifestyle changes, exercising, self-monitoring, uncertainty about a consultation, medication, and insulin use. EFA and CFA analysis showed valid and reliable results; Cronbach's alpha for all items was 0.930, and individual factors ranged from 0.730 to 0.848. The test-retest results were excellent (with interclass correlation coefficients of 0.910 to 0.973). The CFA test obtained RMSEA=0.057 and SRMR=0.067, indicating a good model fit.

    Baseline (before intervention/0 week), at 6-weeks and 12-weeks

Interventions

Foot-ankle exercise group will receive usual care provide by public health center and intervention through health education, leaflets, and videos about foot-ankle exercise. At the first meeting, participants will be taught how to do foot exercises and practice them in front of the instructor. Afterwards, participants will practice foot exercises independently without supervision for 12 weeks. One foot exercise session takes 10-15 minutes, while the physical activity target is for participants to fulfil a moderate level of physical activity (150 minutes/week). For this reason, participants are advised to do foot exercises for 2-3 sessions every day. The minimum duration of each session is 10 minutes, and two consecutive days without foot exercise are not allowed. Participants are asked to document all foot exercise practices in the logbook given at the first meeting. To monitor the intervention, we will contact participants by telephone for ±5 minutes/week.

Foot-ankle exercise group

Participants in the walking exercise group will receive usual care provide by public health center and intervention through health education and leaflets about walking exercise. Participants will practice walking exercises independently without supervision for 12 weeks. Participants walked at the same speed as they did every day. The physical activity target to be achieved is for participants to be able to engage in a moderate level of physical activity (150 minutes/week). For this reason, participants are advised to do walking exercises with a minimum duration of 10 minutes for each session. Two consecutive days without walking exercise are not allowed, and a minimum of 150 minutes/week is allowed. Participants are asked to document all walking exercise practices in the logbook given at the first meeting. To monitor the intervention, we will contact participants by telephone for ±5 minutes/week.

Walking exercise group

Participants in the control group will receive the usual care provided by the community health center and intervention in the form of health education about DM in general.
