Introduction: Type 2 diabetes is a current problem for the global population, with a detrimental impact on functional, social, economic status and especially quality of life.[1,2] Objectives: of this study are to demonstrate the clinical-functional efficacy of complex medical rehabilitation programs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods. The study included 94 patients with type 2 diabetes, rehabilitated by conventional methods (electrotherapy, thermotherapy, hydrotherapy) combined with individualized techniques of vascular kinetotherapy.[3] Initially and after ten days of treatment, the pain in the lower limbs was assessed according to the visual analog scale (VAS), the claudication index using the “measured gait” test proposed by T.Sbenghe (2004) and the quality of life through the quantified quality life assessment scale by J.Flanagan, 2003 (maximum score 98 conventional points, minimum 16 points). Quality of life was assessed initially and after 30 days of physiokinetotherapeutic treatment. During the study, all patients received hypoglycemic drug treatment.Results. After ten days of physifunctional treatment, there were noticed a decrease in pain from 72.31 ± 0.75 to 54.1 ± 0.63 (p <0.05), the claudication index improved from 33.4 ± 0.64 to 51 , 68 ± 0.52 (p <0.05) and quality of life increased from 52.8 ± 0.72 to 84.3 ± 0.14 points (p <0.05).Conclusion. Treatment by active kinetic methods improves the functional status and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes.
