Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiotherapy - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, and even phantom limbs. Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief. RLS is a hardly studied, probably under-diagnosed condition in India. The exact prevalence of restless legs syndrome in India is not known as not much literature available on restless legs syndrome from India. Methodology: The age of the patients ranged 40 to 60 years. The patients were diabetic neuropathy with restless leg syndrome were selected as subjects for this study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group A as control group were given pharmacological treatment only. Group B as experimental group were given pharmacological therapy along with aerobic exercises and yogasana program. Results: Total cholesterol: The post test means of Group B 189.36 and Group A 208.76 resulted in an `F’ ratio of 6.73 which indicates there was statistically significant difference between the pre test means of both the groups at 0.001 level of confidence. The adjusted post test means of group B 19053 and group A 207.60 resulted in an` F’ ratio of 63.01 which indicates significant difference between the adjusted means at 0.001 level of confidence. This indicates the aerobic exercise and yogasana programme has significant effect in decreasing total cholesterol in experimental group after twelve weeks training period. Hemoglobin: The post test means of Group B 13.73 and Group A 12.35 resulted in an `F’ ratio of 19.137 which indicates there was statistically significant difference between the pre test means of both the groups at 0.001 level of confidence. The adjusted post test means of group B 13.618 and group A 12.35 resulted in an` F’ ratio of 19.137 which indicates significant difference between the adjusted means at 0.05 level of confidence. This indicates the aerobic exercise and yogasana programme has significant effect in increasing hemoglobin of experimental group after twelve weeks training period. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise and yogasana program with non-pharmacological treatment given significant effect in reducing total cholesterol and increasing Hemoglobin in restless leg syndrome Patients. The dosage of drugs intake was reduced in group B after the course of the study. Hence this exercise regimen can be given as a adjunct therapy in treating peripheral neuropathy patients with restless less leg syndrome.
