Background: People with diabetes have 10 to 30 times higher risk of lower limb amputation than people without thedisease. 85% of non-traumatic amputations in diabetic patients begin with a foot ulcer. Therefore, early interventionis necessary to control the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and improve balance. Resistance andaerobic training reduce diabetic symptoms by lowering HbA1C levels. In order to restore functional sensibility,improve adaptive functioning, and improve balance, sensory re-education and aerobics are combined. Therefore,the aim of this study is to find out the effect of Sensory re-education and aerobics on sensation and balance amongdiabetic peripheral neuropathy patients.Purpose: The Purpose of the study is to determine the effects of sensory re-education with aerobic training onsensory perception and balance in Diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients.Material and Method: This study included diabetic individuals of both genders between the ages of 45-60, lowPAR-Q risk scores and Toronto clinical neuropathy scores (TCNS) between 6 and 11. A total of 20 participantswere randomly selected and received sensory re-education with aerobics for six weeks.Results: Individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy experienced statistically significant improvement inTCNS from 9.3±1.25 to 4.5± 1.3, in BBS 48.5 ± 2.70 to 41.7±1.41, in TUG 8.12±1.28 to 6.95 ±1.30, with a P value of <0.01.Conclusion: Sensory re-education with aerobic training for 6 weeks of duration reported improvement in sensoryperception and balance among people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients.

Background: A wide variety of static, non-progressive motor impairments, such as cerebral palsy, can developfrom birth or infancy as a result of damage to the central nervous system’s neuromotor components. Regulatingmotor activity frequently requires communication between the cerebral cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, brain stem,Cerebellum, spinal cord, and linking sensory-motor pathways. Task-oriented training is utilized as a rehabilitationtechnique to hone motor skills and as a programme to enhance muscular function or strength. Objective of thisstudy is to compare the effectiveness of Conventional therapy and task-oriented strength training in children withcerebral palsy.Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of conventional therapy and task-oriented strength training in childrenwith cerebral palsy.Materials and Methods: A total of 48 subjects were included into the study based on the selection criteria andinformed consent was obtained from the parents of the children. Group A (n=24) will be treated with Conventionalshoulder exercises while Group B (n=24) will be treated with task-oriented strength training with weights. Outcomemeasures include Shoulder ROM and GMFCS Scale. Results should be tabulated and statistically analyzed. Bothtraining programs will be given for 4 weeks, weekly 5 days from November 2022 to April 2023.Result: Statistical analysis made with quantitative data revealed statistically significant differences between groupA and group B. The test shows that subjects who received task oriented strength training have better effects inimproving the motor function of children with Cerebral Palsy.
