The aim of this randomized control trial study is to determine the effects of the exercise program of Weight-bearing Exercise for Better Balance on static, dynamic and functional balance in people with diabetic polyneuropathy. Inclusion criteria are the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy and the ability to perform the tests and exercises; exclusion criteria are the presence of any orthopaedic, neurological and cardiopulmonary problems which may interfere with exercise and test performance. 30 People diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy will be randomly assigned to intervention and control group. Participants in intervention group will perform the Weight-bearing Exercise for Better Balance program, containing 11 strengthening, balance, coordination and aerobic exercises. Participants in the control group will perform a battery of balance-strengthening exercises. All participants will perform the exercise programs for 8 weeks and will undergo balance assessment twice: once 24 hours before the beginning of the exercises and another time 24-48 hours after the last session of the exercise interventions. The primary outcome measures are displacement and velocity of postural sway, stability index and functional balance score.
