This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different exercise programs for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy — nerve damage in the feet and legs caused by diabetes. One program focuses on exercises for the tiny muscles inside the foot, while the other uses multi-directional ankle and foot movements. Researchers want to see which approach works better for improving balance, walking ability, and reducing the risk of falls.
Diabetic nerve damage affects about half of people with long-term diabetes and often causes weakness, loss of balance, and frequent falls. Currently, there isn't clear evidence about which type of exercise program works best to help these patients recover strength and stability, so this study aims to find the answer.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups. You'll come to the hospital clinic 3 times per week for 8 weeks and do either specialized foot muscle exercises or multi-directional ankle and foot exercises — whichever group you're in — for about 40 minutes each session. At the beginning and end of the program, you'll complete some simple tests to measure your balance, walking ability, and fall risk.
