Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if foot-ankle exercise can prevent diabetic foot ulcer incidence in patient with diabetes neuropathy. It will also learn about the effect of foot-ankle exercise on improvement of diabetes neuropathy severity, glycemic control, brain-derived neurotropic factor, walking speed, foot ankle range of motion, callus. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does foot-ankle exercise lower the number of diabetic ulcer incidence * Does foot-ankle exercise lower the diabetes neuropathy severity * Does foot-ankle exercise improve glycemic control * Does foot-ankle exercise improve brain-derived neurotrophic factor * Does foot-ankle exercise improve walking speed * Does foot-ankle exercise improve foot ankle range of motion * Does foot-ankle exercise lower the number of callus incidence

Detailed description

Researchers will compare intervention group foot-ankle exercise used elastic band to a control group to see if foot-ankle exercise work to prevent diabetic foot ulcer incidence in patient with diabetes neuropathy Participants will: * Do foot-ankle exercise for three times a week with non-consecutive day for 1 year * Report the incidence of callus and diabetic foot ulcer whenever they have

Interventions

The exercise was done 3 times a week (15x/until they tired x 2set). The exercise used a elastic band with difference thickness (0,5 mm in 12 weeks and 0,65 mm in nine month)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) incidencefor a yearDFU, defined as a wound in the area below the ankle that reaches at least the epidermis and part of the dermis, as diagnosed by an internist

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
control glyacemic0, 12 weeks, and a yearHbA1c levels, which are the level of blood sugar control over a period of time. 3 months, measured by analyzing blood serum in a laboratory using the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP).
brain derived neurotrophic factor0, 12 weeks, and a yearBDNF levels, which are defined as biomolecular markers that can indicate the severity of diabetic neuropathy, as measured by analyzing blood serum using the ELIZA technique
walking speed0, 12 weeks, and a yearWalking speed is the ratio between times measured while walking in second as fast as possible on a flat and flat trajectory at a certain distance. A track distance used in the study was 5 meter. The time of waking was measured using stopwatch
diabetic neuropathy examination score0, 12 weeks, and a yearThe accumulation score of the result measurement consists of eight item, two testing muscle strength, one a tendon reflex, and five sensation. The min-max score is 0-16. The higher the score indicates the more severe the neuropathy. The score was determined by doing a physical examination.
callus insidence0, 12 weeks, and a yearCallus is the thickness of the plantar skin area that can be determined by inspection
neuropathy symptom score0, 12 weeks, and a yearThe accumulation score of the result measurement consists of sixteen item about the symptom of neuropathy. The min-max score is 0-16. The more score indicates the more severe of neuropathy. The score was determined by interviewing the patient
foot ankle range of motion0, 12 weeks, and a yearankle range of motion, which is the degree of joint movement in the feet during flexion, extension, inversion, and eversion, as measured using digital goniometry
