Technological Rehabilitation of Distal Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy in Diabetic Patients

"The length of stride of reference used during the exercise is personalized and depends on the height of patients. Each patient carries out the feedback for 20 minutes with the aim of generating the most symmetric and regular gait.~Patients, with the dynamometer, work on strengthening of flexor and extensor muscles with ankle speeds at 90°/sec and 120°/sec. The strengthening technique was performed twice for 10 minutes each time with a 1 minute rest between sets.~The session ends with a 20-minute feedback on dynamic balance platform by carrying out exercises in which they need to reach randomly appearing targets. Subjects begin with 12 minutes the first 4 sessions, progress to 16 minutes the next 2 sessions, then 18' (2 sessions), and finally 20', if able, during the last 4 sessions."

When needed, more than on e therapist are employed in the intervention for safety reasons.
