“…Therefore, a stronger presence of factors belonging to the peripheral neuropathy, such as sensory decline, a decline in muscular strength and diminution of muscular reflexes, would be related with worsened balance. Only one study correlating DNE rating and balance (18) was identified, which reported a strong negative correlation between neuropathy severity and balance, similar to what was discovered in our study.…”

“…This finding is similar to what was discovered by other authors, who stated that patients presenting peripheral neuropathy or DPN show balance alterations when contrasted with healthy subjects (15)(16)(17)(18)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) and with subjects presenting DM without DPN (17,18,21,23,25). This statement is based on the fact that the tactile sensorial system is the main mechanism for balance (26); hence, when influenced by DPN, balance control is affected.…”

Objectives: To contrast the static balance in patients presenting diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) with and without polyneuropathy (DPN); and to correlate the rates from the scale Diabetic Neuropathy Examination (DNE) with the mean ratio of the center of pressure (CoP). Subjects and methods:Twenty patients, aged between 40 and 54, presenting DM2 and classified, according to DNE scale, in groups with (n = 10) and without (n = 10) DPN, were compared.

“…As study of Tabassom et al on Functional balance in elderly with diabetic neuropathy concluded that Distal Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy leads to functional imbalance thus danger of falling during daily activities increases and becomes more severe as the severity of neuropathy aggravates [9]. Distal Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common long-term complications of diabetes mellitus which leads to high risk for falling [9].…”

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent metabolic disease, particularly in the elderly population. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), the most common complication, is present in up to half of the people with diabetes, leading to sensory and autonomic motor impairment, and possibly increasing the risk of falling. DM is also associated with geriatric conditions falls, incontinence, low body mass index, dizziness, vision, hearing and cognitive impairments and dependence on activities of daily living. Balance is one of the major factors which associated with falls in the elderly population. Diabetes in addition may cause further damage to the nervous system thereby resulting in impaired balance leading to increased risk of falls. It is essential to investigate relationship between balances and falls in diabetic individuals.

“…[6,8,12] Many DM related complications such as peripheral neuropathies, poor low contrast visual acuity and poor depth perception are also associated with reduced balance performance. [5,10,26] Poor glycemic control, depressive symptoms and some medications may lead to poor balance; consequently increased probability of falls and enhanced FOF. [9,10] However there is no detailed study evaluating the factors associated with diminished balance and increased FOF in DM.…”

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate balance performance and fear of falling (FOF) in older people with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) and the parameters affecting balance and FOF in older patients with DM. Results: Timed Up and Go test, BDI, BAI, and FES-I scores were significantly higher; BBS, OLST, and MBI scores were significantly lower in patients. There were significant effects of neuropathic pain, hypertension and cardiovascular disease on BBS and FES-I in diabetic patients. One-Legged Stance test, TUG, and FES-I were associated with BBS in diabetic patients. Falls Efficacy Scale-International was significantly correlated with HbA1c, MBI and BBS in patients. Patients and methods: Conclusion:Older people with DM have increased FOF and balance problems. Uncontrolled DM, cardiovascular problems and neuropathic pain have negative impact on balance and FOF. Physiatrist should also take part in the follow-up of older diabetic patients. Anahtar sözcükler: Yaşlanma; denge; diyabetes mellitus; emosyonel durum; düşme korkusu.
