What this trial studies
This study investigates the relationship between motor imagery ability, body awareness, and cognitive functions in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It focuses on how cognitive impairments related to diabetes may affect the ability to create accurate mental images of motor movements. Participants will undergo assessments through questionnaires and physical exams to evaluate their motor imagery skills and body awareness. The findings aim to provide insights into the cognitive motor processes in diabetic patients, potentially guiding future therapeutic approaches.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals aged 18-65 with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for at least 5 years.
Not a fit: Patients with prior experience in motor imagery techniques or those with neurological diseases may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of cognitive impairments in Type 2 Diabetes and inform targeted rehabilitation strategies.
How similar studies have performed: While studies have explored motor imagery in other neurological conditions, this specific focus on Type 2 Diabetes is relatively novel.
