Abstract Diabetes may result in peripheral neuropathy, which diminishes sensory perception and proprioception, thereby impairing balance, increasing fear of movement and negatively affecting quality of life. In cases of prolonged or severe neuropathy, balance disturbances tend to worsen. The integration of vibration and balance training may offer improved balance outcomes in individuals suffering from diabetic neuropathy. This study primarily aimed to investigate the effects of combining active vibration training with balance exercises on postural control, fall risk and balance confidence. Methodology- Thirty adults aged 45–65 were split into two groups via convenient sampling-one received Flexi-Bar with balance training, the other balance training alone. Assessments at baseline, week 3 and week 6 used the Ortho-King Pressure Plate, ABC Scale, and MFES. Results- The results clearly demonstrated that Group A (vibration + balance training) showed greater improvements across all outcomes. Balance (AP sway) significantly improved from 4.26±2.40 to 1.56±0.75, while Group B saw a smaller change. Balance confidence (ABC) increased markedly in Group A (62.79±6.64 to 82.38±5.78) compared to Group B, with a significant p-value of 0.001. Fall risk (MFES) also improved more in Group A (6.24±0.28 to 8.27±0.44), while Group B showed minimal change (p=0.058). Aim: Effect of active vibration training, Balance, Balance confidence. Conclusion: Flexi-Bar with balance training improved stability, confidence and fall prevention more than balance exercises alone, proving safe and easy to use.
