Abstrakt:	Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8-week yoga intervention on muscle strength, proprioception, pain, concerns about falling, and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy. Methods: A quasi-experimental design incorporating a pretest-posttest methodology and a control group was implemented in the present study. A total of 30 patients who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and neuropathy were recruited and randomly assigned to intervention (n = 15) or non-exercise control (n = 15). Yoga sessions were conducted for a duration of 60 min on three occasions per week, with participants requested to practice at home on other days. Results: The results showed significant main effects of time on the muscle strength (both flexor and extensor muscles, p <.001, ηp2 = 0.652 and p <.001, ηp2 = 0.539, respectively), proprioception error (p <.001, ηp2 = 0.807), pain intensity (p <.001, ηp2 = 0.538), concerns about falling (p <.001, ηp2 = 0.700), and overall score of quality of life (p <.001, ηp2 = 0.475). Moreover, there were significant group-by-time interactions for all variables (p <.001 for all). Conclusion: The study reveals that yoga intervention can be an effective alternative therapeutic approach to medication for individuals with diabetic neuropathy. Yet, future studies are needed on a larger sample size to strengthen the present understanding of the advantageous impact of yoga intervention in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
