Brief summary

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an important health condition of the population and its prevalence continues to grow due to population aging, economic development and urbanization. The exercise is an important factor of prevention and control, thereby decreasing the risk of metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases and improving the functionality of the patient with diabetes. Objective: Evaluate the response of resistance training associated with wholebody vibration on peripheral circulation and functional performance of elderly with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This is a clinical trial study, controlled, randomized and blinded, which will follow the guidelines established by the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Patients will be recruited in the light of the eligibility criteria and randomly divided into 3 groups: resistance training associated with whole body vibration (G1), resistance training associated with vibration sham (G2) and control group-guidelines about foot care (GC), establishing 36 treatment sessions, three times a week for the G1 and G2.

Detailed description

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an important health condition of the population and its prevalence continues to grow due to population aging, economic development and urbanization. Exercise is an important factor of prevention and metabolic control, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and improving the functionality of the patient with diabetes. The vibrating platform is a new biophysical modality of exercise. The individual exercises on a plate that oscillates up and down movements at a specific frequency and amplitude, and the exercises are performed static and / or dynamic. The present study aims to evaluate the immediate effect of whole body vibration on skin temperature, circulation, peripheral sensitivity and plantar pressure in adults and older adults with and without type 2 diabetes. controlled, randomized and blind, which will follow the guidelines set forth in the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). It will be held at the Laboratory of Kinesiotherapy and Manual Therapeutic Resources (LACIRTEM) of the Department of Physical Therapy of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), in 2019. Patients will be recruited meeting the eligibility criteria and randomly assigned to 6 groups: whole body vibration in diabetics (G1), the sham vibration group in diabetics (G2) and diabetic control group (G3), the whole body vibration group in non-diabetics (G4), the vibration group sham in non-diabetics (G5) and non-diabetic control group (G6), establishing a single treatment session for G1, G2, G4 and G5. The control group of diabetics and non-diabetics will be evaluated, will receive pamphlets and guidelines on diabetes, will answer the research questionnaires and will be reassessed. This study will be submitted to the UFPE Human Research Ethics Committee and collection will only begin after its approval. All individuals must have read and signed the Informed Consent Form, authorizing their participation. The study is in line with National Health Council Resolution 466/12 and the Declaration of Helsinki. For statistical analysis of the results will be assigned a significance level of 95%, performed using the statistical software SPSS version 23.0. Whole body vibration is expected to show more significant improvements than sham and control groups in the outcomes studied.

Interventions

OTHERwhole body vibration em DM

The vibrating platform is a new biophysical modality of exercise. The individual exercises on a plate that oscillates up and down movements at a specific frequency and amplitude, and the exercises are performed static and / or dynamic. Vibration is supposed to activate muscle spindles and evoke contractions, which are induced by the complex spinal and supraspinal neurophysiological mechanism known as the tonic vibration reflex.

OTHERVibration sham em DM

Sham vibration will be performed with the platform disconnected. A sound device will be connected producing a noise similar to the connected platform for a time equivalent to the treatment protocol, as it will not be possible to visibly distinguish the vibratory stimulus. Participants who will undergo false vibration will not have contact with those who will perform the protocol effectively.

Masking description

group the patient will enter. The patient will be allocated among three groups. After the final evaluations, all data will be analyzed by another researcher directed solely to that purpose. Therefore, there will be a triple blinding (researcher, patient and statistician).

Intervention model description

6 groups: whole body vibration in diabetics (G1), the sham vibration group in diabetics (G2) and diabetic control group (G3), the whole body vibration group in non-diabetics (G4), the vibration group sham in non-diabetics (G5) and non-diabetic control group (G6), establishing a single treatment session for G1, G2, G4 and G5.
