Conditions
Type2diabetes
Registration Number
NCT06045598
Lead Sponsor
Hasan Kalyoncu University
Brief Summary

The investigators aim to assess the postural control, ankle, and trunk proprioception, plantar sensation, and general cognitive status in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

The investigators aim to assess the postural control on different floors with eyes open, eyes closed, and cognitive dual-task, ankle, and trunk proprioception, plantar sensation, and general cognitive status of patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes between the ages of 18-65, and to compare them with healthy controls.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postural Control20 minutes

Postural control of the participants will be measured objectively by transferring the data taken from the body to the computer with the help of a wearable sensor using Gyko-Microgate software. Ellipsoid area and moving speed will be measured in mm² and mm/s².

Ankle proprioception10 minutes

Proprioception in ankle plantar flexion and dorsiflexion will be measured with the help of a digital goniometer.

Lumbal proprioception5 minutes

Proprioception in lumbar flexion and extension will be measured with the help of a digital goniometer.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plantar sensation5 minutes

Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test

Cognitive status10 minutes

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is evaluated out of 30 points. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 30, the lowest score is 0. 21 points is the reference limit and a value below 21 points indicates that there is an affect on cognitive status.
