Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the effect of whole body vibration on muscle mass, muscle strength, biomechanical parameters of gait and balance, glucose metabolism factors and inflammatory factors in people with diabetic sarcopenia
Design
People with diabetic sarcopenia are randomly (with block randomization method) divided into intervention group (with whole body vibration) and control group (without vibration). The clinical trial has a randomized control group with a sample size of 60. There is no trial phase.
Settings and conduct
This study would be conducted at the Movement Disorders Research Center of Tarbiat Modares University and the Endocrine Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The subjects under study are patients with diabetic sarcopenia.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Diabetic patients who have been diagnosed for at least 6 months and are diagnosed with sarcopenia according to the diagnostic parameters; age between 60 to 80 years old; Exclusion criteria: History of acute ischemia in the past 6 months; GFR score above 30; neuropathy score above 13; suffering from thyroid problems.
Intervention groups
The intervention group will receive 12 weeks of whole body vibration. The control group will receive any intervention during 12 weeks.
Main outcome variables
Ground Reaction Force parameters, body sway parameters, quality of life questioner , body mass parameters

Randomization description
Randomization in this study will be done by block randomization method. Participants will be randomly assigned into intervention or control groups. The size of blocks will be 4. Also, the blocks will be randomly placed in the envelopes. For random assignment, code 1 denotes the intervention group and code 0 denotes the control group in the envelopes. Subjects will choose an envelope and then, based on the chosen code, they are assigned to one of the groups.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The intervention consists of 12 weeks of whole body vibration for individuals with diabetic sarcopenia. In the first session, after registering the basic information and getting familiar with how to perform the tests, the subjects will perform biomechanical and blood tests and then the variables will be recorded. In the next sessions, people should perform 3 times a week for 12 weeks, 5 to 12 vibration sets each with 60 seconds of vibration and 30 seconds of rest. After the end of 12 weeks, the final assessment session will be done in the laboratory like the first session. If subjects complete 80% of the sessions, which includes at least 30 treatment sessions, they will be included in the statistical analysis.

Description
Control group: This group will not receive any vibration and the subjects will be evaluated before and after 12 weeks. In the first session, after registering the basic information and getting familiar with how to perform the tests, the subject will perform biomechanical and blood tests and then the variables will be recorded. After the end of 12 weeks, the final assessment session will be done in the laboratory like the first session.
