Effect of the use of passive body trunk exercise equipment on oxygen consumption and self ‐efficacy for performing exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes

Furthermore, it could be an effective exercise device for diabetic patients who do not have regular exercise habits, especially with reduced motor function or lower leg muscle strength.
