Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be involved in a 12-week WBV-based program on a side-alterning vibration platform (Phyisio Wave 700, Globus, Italy) comprising three sessions per week, one day between off sessions. All sessions will be conducted one-on-one with a physical therapist. Each exercise session was performed through the frequency of 12 Hz for the first month, 14 Hz for the second month and 16 Hz for the last month. Peak to peak displacement of 4 mm was maintained during the whole program. Participants must adopt an isometric squat position during all exposures, with knees flexed at 100 degrees during 30 s. After that, subjects will be asked to perform 8 exercises on the vibration platform (lunge, step up and down, squat, calf raises, left and right pivot, shoulder abduction with elastic bands, shoulder abduction with elastic bands while squatting, arm swinging with elastic bands) with slow movements at a rate of 2s for both concentric and eccentric phases. For the first month, the duration of exercises was 30s with a recovery time of 30 s between exercises. For the second and third month, duration of exercises will be increased up to 45s and 60s respectively with a maintained recovery time of 30s. Therefore a typical session will last approximately 20 min. To ensure a correct and safety increase in intensity through the program, each first day of intensity increase, a pre-exercise, post-exercise and post 48h fasting blood glucose control will be performed in each patient.

Blood flow: maximum systolic velocity (VS), maximum diastolic velocity (VD), time averaged mean (TAM), heart rate (HR), pulsatility index (PI), which is the result of FS-FD/TAM, and resistance index (RI) which is the result of systolic frequency- diastolic frequency/ systolic frequency. For blood cell velocity measurements, intensity weighted mean velocity (Vmed), peak blood velocities (TPVM) and acceleration time to peak flow (Tacel). Outcomes will be recorded by a pulsed color-coded Doppler ultrasound Scanner (Philips EnVisor; Philips Medical, Andover, MA) with a 5–10 MHz broadband linear array transducer (Philips EnVisor C, L12-3, Andover, MA).

Balance: measurement of center of pressure (COP) excursions in the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions by means of Wii Balance Board (WBB, Nintendo, Kyoto, Japan) connected wirelessly with a Bluetooth adapter to a laptop computer and raw data will be stored and processed using custom-written software (Labview 8.5 National Instruments, Austin, TX, U.S.A).

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Eligible participants had to have T2DM confirmed by a primary care provider and based on the ADA diagnostic criteria.
Minimum age
No limit
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria included history or evidence of advanced cardiovascular, renal or hepatic diseases, diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, or neuropathy, insulin use, orthopedic or other limitations that may interfere with their ability to exercise safely. Participants with HbA1c >10% also were omitted. Moreover, participants receiving physical therapy were excluded to avoid possible interactions with the present trial.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Participants will be randomly assigned by using a computer-generated random number sequence to either a WBV group (WBV) or usual-care control group (CON). Randomization will be undertaken by a member of the research team not directly involved in the recruitment or assessment of patients. The randomization sequence will be disclosed to the researcher responsible for the day-to-day running of the trial until patients had completed their baseline assessments.

Statistical methods / analysis
The normality of the data will be evaluated by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. When non-parametric distribution, differences between groups at baseline will be tested using Mann–Whitney’s and kruskall Wallis test will be used to compare differences between groups after treatment. When parametric distribution, differences between groups at baseline were tested using t-test for independent measures and ANOVA (group x time) adjusted by age of participants was used to compare differences between groups after treatment. Chi-squared analysis will be used for categorical variables in any case. A Spearman Rho correlation will be used to find the relationship between changes in two variables. Values will be shown as mean +/- SE and statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. All statistical analyses will be performed with SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
