简要总结
The research is a cross-sectional study and was planned to determine which diabetes mellitus symptoms related to physical competence have a greater impact on balance in patients with diabetes mellitus
详细描述
The present study was designed as a cross-sectional observational study to investigate the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM)-related symptoms and physical competence, with a specific focus on balance performance in individuals diagnosed with DM. Considering that diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that frequently leads to multisystemic complications such as peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness, sensory impairments, and reduced physical capacity, it is essential to determine how these clinical manifestations affect functional outcomes. Since balance is a critical component of daily living activities and directly influences fall risk, mobility, and quality of life, identifying which DM-related symptoms most strongly contribute to balance impairment may provide important insights for rehabilitation and preventive strategies. By assessing symptom domains related to physical competence and their association with balance performance, this study aims to reveal the key determinants of postural control in patients with DM, thereby guiding both clinical evaluation and individualized intervention programs.

结局指标
主要结局
Dynamic balance
时间窗: 7 months
Four-Step Square Test (FSST): Two strips were placed perpendicular to each other on the floor to create 4 squares. At the start of the test, the patient stood on square 1 facing square 2. The stepping sequence was as follows: 2-3-4-1-4-3-2-1. Participants were instructed to complete the sequence as fast as possible, without touching the canes or strips, and to ensure that both feet fully contacted the ground in each square. If the participant failed to complete the sequence correctly, lost balance, or touched the cane, the test was repeated. The total time required to complete the test was recorded
