Abstract

Abstract: Objective To explore the characteristics of static balance impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Fifty-one patients with type 2 diabetes attending the clinic at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2013 to December 2015 were recruited[male:27 persons, female:24 persons, average age (56.1 ±10.1)years]. Forty-three cases[male:17 persons, female:26 persons), average age (54.4 ±7.2)years] without the medical or family history of otology diseases and diabetes were set as control. All patients and controls completed Smart-Equi Test. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups; with respect to the balance test results for sensory organization test (SOT) score, somatosensory subtest score, vestibular subtest score, or limits of stability test (LOS) score (P>0.05 for all). However, the visual systems and motor control test (MCT) scores were significantly lower in diabetic patients than in control patients (P=0.032 and P=0.018). Conclusion Visual system impairment and decline in motion control ability may be the main characteristic of static balance impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Key words: type 2 diabetes mellitus, falls, static balance impairment
