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.
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 gone: 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.
