Effects of whole-body Vibration therapy among Type II Diabetes Mellitus - A Pilot single blind randomized clinical trial

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by elevated glucose level in the blood. This study focused to find out the effects of whole-body vibration therapy and resisted exercise among type II diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: Total 36 subjects both male and female were selected for this study with age group between (35–50 years). Subjects were divided into three groups. Group A received whole body vibration therapy and Group B received resisted exercise. Group C underwent conventional exercises. All three groups received an intervention for 12 weeks. Pre and post HbA1c and lipid profile were measured. Results: The study shows that there is a significant reduction in HbA1c level and lipid profile in whole body vibration therapy followed by resisted exercise group and conventional therapy group. Conclusion: This study concluded that whole body vibration therapy can recommend for controlling blood glucose level effectively among type II diabetes mellitus subjects.
