Abstract

Аbstract: The research goal is to follow through the effect of kinesitherapy methods on functional disorders with diabetic polyneuropathy.
Material and Methods: 11 patients with diagnosed diabetic polyneuropathy have been examined (6 women and 5 men, average age 59.3 ± 6.6 years). The functional research shows a decreased movement volume in the joints of the lower limbs and muscle weakness. The patients have been selected by a few criteria, to have research equality. For the purposes of the study, a complex of functional tests is applied, the results evaluated from the 1-st, 10-th day, and 1st month since the treatment started.
Evaluated: pain sensitivity, discriminative sense, vibration sense, Romberg test, manual-muscle test (MMT), centimeter, mobility test in ankle joint.
Results: After applying the kinesitherapeutic methods, the highest improvement tendency in functional recovery has been noticed at the 1 month mark, with a significance level of р<0.001.
Conclusion: Therapeutic exercises, continued later as a home exercise program, significantly improves the functional capabilities of patients with diabetic polyneuropathy, and the effectiveness of the application is expressed in an improvement in movement volume, an increase in endurance and muscle strength and pain reduction.
