Overview
Brief Summary
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic metabolic disorder in children. Diabetic children who take proper nutrition and good care attain normal growth status. Factors affecting growth in diabetic patients include gender, age at diagnosis, duration of disease, glycemic control, and puberty status. Moreover, diabetes mellitus has negative impact on vestibular system, affect proprioception and lower limb muscle fatigue resulting in reduced balance.
Detailed Description
Limited literature is available regarding the relation between anthropometric measurements and balance in children with diabetes mellitus. Therefore, the current study will be conducted to investigate the relation between anthropometric measurements (weight, height and body mass index) and balance in children with diabetes mellitus.
