| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Modified total neuropathy score A 6 -item tool that combines patient report of subjective sensory and motor symptoms, deep tendon reflexes, manual muscle testing of distal muscles, pin sensibility, and quantitative vibration thresholds. â?¢ 0 -24 points, higher score indicates worse neuropathy. Timepoint: will be assessed at baseline and after 3 weeks | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| functional independence measureTimepoint: The test/Questionaire will be assessed at the baseline and at the end of 3 weeks. (Pre and Post);timed up and go testTimepoint: The test/Questionaire will be assessed at the baseline and at the end of 3 weeks. (Pre and Post);UNIPEDAL STANCE TEST â?¢ Patients were asked to stand barefoot on the limb of their choice, with the other limb raised so that the raised foot was near but not touching the ankle of their stance limb. â?¢ Prior to raising the limb, the subject was instructed to cross his arms over the chest. â?¢ The investigator used a stopwatch to measure the amount of time the subject was able to stand on one limb. â?¢ Time commenced when the subject raised the foot off the floor ended when the subject either (1) used his arms (ie, uncrossed arms) (2) used the raised foot (moved it toward or away from the standing limb or touched the floor) (3) moved the weight-bearing foot to maintain his balance (ie, rotated foot on the ground) (4) a maximum of 45 seconds had elapsed (5) opened eyes on eyes closed trials.
