Brief Summary: To determine the effects of PNF and Gait Training Exercises on Balance and Gait in diabetic neuropathy patients 40 patients will be explained in detail about the study procedure Informed consent will be taken Patients will be divided in two groups each consisting of 20 people

Subjects will be evaluated using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Questionnaire screening tool One group will be tested by PNF techniques and the second group will be tested by Gait Training exercises

Balance will be assessed by Berg Balance scale BBS and Tinetti scale before during and after the study to assess risk of fall and injury Gait will be assessed by Dynamic Gait index in the same manner All patients will be followed up with the therapist regularly twice a week for 30 minutes session each for a duration of 8 weeks
