- Abstract
Objective: Hyperglycemia complications have negative effect on the movement system like all other systems in patients with diabetic neuropathy. In these patients, it is necessary to get a real clinical diagnosis and it is important to understand the relationship between movement system and hyperglycemia. Our purpose was to investigate the relationship between hyperglycemia values and changes in the movement system in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Materials and Method: We included 33 patients aged between 45-76 with Type 2 diabetic neuropathy. Patient's demographic characteristics and duration of disease were recorded. Measurements related with the movement system are performed with biosensoric Biodex Balance SD balance systems. Adaptation time to gravity change and postural sway parameters were examined in the movement system. Results: The mean age of the patients was 60.72± 7.05(48-76) years. There was a positive correlation between adaptation time to gravity change and age (r:0.445). In addition, there was a positive relationship between adaptation time to gravity change and body mass index measurements (r:0.429). There wasn't found any relationship between hyperglycaemia parameters (HbA1c and fasting blood glucose) and movement measurements. Conclusion: There wasn't found direct relationship between hyperglycemia and movement system.
