简要总结
The aim was to evaluate the Achilles tendon size and static and dynamic balance, as well as the role of Achilles tendon on balance in prediabetes. A total of 96 patients were divided into three groups: 1)the control group, consisting of patients without diabetes; 2)the prediabetes group; 3)the diabetes mellitus group. Ultrasonographic measurements of Achilles tendon sizes were performed. Dynamic balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale, static balance was assessed.The Self-Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs was utilized to identify neuropathic pain.
详细描述
Background/Aims: There is a lack of studies that examine balance problems and Achilles tendon thickness in prediabetes, despite their common occurrence in diabetes. The aim was to evaluate the Achilles tendon size and static and dynamic balance, as well as the role of Achilles tendon on balance in prediabetic patients.
Methods: A total of 96 patients were divided into three groups: 1)the control group, consisting of patients without diabetes; 2)the prediabetes group; 3)the diabetes mellitus group. Ultrasonographic measurements of Achilles tendon sizes (thickness, width and area) were performed. Dynamic balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale, static balance (the Fall Index, Stability Indexes) was assessed using a Tetrax device. The Self-Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs was utilized to identify neuropathic pain.
