Interventions
Foot-Ankle therapeutic exercises and Mindful Walking.
The intervention consists of Foot-Ankle Therapeutic Exercises combined with Mindful Walking, specifically designed to address diabetic neuropathy symptoms. This 12-week program includes strengthening exercises such as toe spreads, toe curls, heel raises, calf raises, single leg stance, and ankle dorsiflexion, as well as flexibility exercises like ankle dorsiflexion stretch, plantar fascia stretch, calf stretch, toe flexion stretch, and Achilles tendon stretch. Alongside these exercises, participants will engage in mindful walking practices incorporating sensory cues (kinesthetic, visual, auditory, and tactile cues). The unique combination and structured progression of these exercises and mindfulness techniques distinguish this intervention from other therapeutic approaches.
