Bewegungstherapie bei Polyneuropathie

Peripheral neuropathies encompass a large group of disorders of heterogeneous origin and represent a highly prevalent disease group (5–9% of the population). To date, there are no effective treatment options. Promising results have been achieved with specific exercise interventions. Neuromuscular stimulating balance exercises, for instance, have the potential to reduce and possibly prevent relevant symptoms of toxically induced peripheral neuropathies, while for diabetic neuropathies for instance, endurance training has proven beneficial. Consequently, exercise interventions should receive more attention, as they are a side-effect-free option to target relevant sensory and motor symptoms of neuropathy, not only improving patients’ autonomy and quality of life, but also impacting medical therapy. They are therefore of clinical relevance and can impact supportive therapy.
