Study of the impact of cardiovascular exercises and their functional responses on diabetic peripheral neuropathy using neutrosophic statistics

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to determine cardiovascular exercise strategies that improve functional responses in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The methodology used is the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) which is recognized in the field of treatment of health problems associated with diabetes. The sample included 34 patients of different ages. One of the difficulties we encounter in the study of these diseases is the indeterminacy and uncertainty of the diagnosis of the disease and the treatment. They are complex diseases that require family, institutional, and medical support, in addition to the patient's total cooperation. The processed data corresponds to laboratory tests that must be evaluated with an interpretation of normal or non-normal depending on values given in an interval form instead of a crisp value. That is why the authors of the article decided to process the data using Neutrosophic Statistics, where traditional methods are extended to the framework of intervals instead of crisp numbers. Finally, we obtained a linear equation in interval form to link the measurement of “dyspnea” with the “distance of meters traveled.”
