The relationship between vibration perception disorder and body sway on type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between vibration perception and body sway by a gravicorder in patients with type 2 diabetes. 27 type 2 diabetic patients were measured static body sway parameters. The results of this study, significant negative correlations were observed between vibration perception and velocity of foot pressure with close eyes situation, however no correlations were observed with open eyes situation. This study suggests possibility that vibration perception relate velocity of foot pressure with close eyes situation.
