Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Diabetic patients of both genders, aged 45 to 60 years Diagnosed with Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus for at least 3 to 5 years Able to walk independently without assistive devices. No history of major foot complications, such as amputations or severe ulcers.

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
First step length- the distance covered with the first step after initiating movement, indicating how far the body progresses with the first stride. First step time - the duration taken to complete the first step, indicating the speed at which the first step is performed. Balance recovery distance is the distance the body moves or shifts to regain stability after losing balance. Muscle strength in kilograms in a dynamometer for plantar flexors (PF), hip abductors, and knee extensors refers to the maximum force exerted by these muscle groups, measured in kilograms using a handheld device (dynamometer).Timepoint: At the time of evaluation

Secondary
