Abstract
The study aimed to compare the effect of Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation strengthening (PNF Strengthening) Vs. Proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching (PNF Stretching) on Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Four hundred five type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were randomly allocated in Control group (Group A; n=138), Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation strengthening group (Group B; n=135) and Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching group (Group C; n=132).HbA1c was measured pre and post intervention to examine the effect on blood glucose level. This study show that both PNF strengthening and PNF stretching have been effective in reduction of blood glucose level (p< 0.05). Whereas significant difference was found between the two interventions (p< 0.005).PNF strengthening has shown significant improvement compare to control and PNF stretching group. PNF strengthening may be a better treatment protocol for the clinicians towards benefit of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
