Assessing balance and sensation in people with Type 2 diabetes
Investigation of the Influence of Postural Control, Ankle and Trunk Proprioception in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Hasan Kalyoncu University · NCT06045598
This study is testing how Type 2 diabetes affects balance and feeling in the body by comparing people with diabetes to those without.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates postural control, proprioception of the ankle and trunk, plantar sensation, and cognitive status in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Participants aged 18-65 will undergo various assessments, including balance tests under different conditions and sensory evaluations. The results will be compared to those of healthy controls to understand the impact of Type 2 diabetes on these functions.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals aged 18-65 who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
Not a fit: Patients with insufficient cognitive levels, traumatic nerve injuries, or recent upper extremity surgeries may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of balance and sensory issues in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have explored aspects of proprioception and balance in diabetes, this specific approach focusing on multiple sensory and cognitive assessments is relatively novel.
