Brief Summary: The aim was to evaluate the Achilles tendon size and static and dynamic balance as well as the role of Achilles tendon on balance in prediabetes A total of 96 patients were divided into three groups 1the control group consisting of patients without diabetes 2the prediabetes group 3the diabetes mellitus group Ultrasonographic measurements of Achilles tendon sizes were performed Dynamic balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale static balance was assessedThe Self-Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs was utilized to identify neuropathic pain
Detailed Description: BackgroundAims There is a lack of studies that examine balance problems and Achilles tendon thickness in prediabetes despite their common occurrence in diabetes The aim was to evaluate the Achilles tendon size and static and dynamic balance as well as the role of Achilles tendon on balance in prediabetic patients
Methods A total of 96 patients were divided into three groups 1the control group consisting of patients without diabetes 2the prediabetes group 3the diabetes mellitus group Ultrasonographic measurements of Achilles tendon sizes thickness width and area were performed Dynamic balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale static balance the Fall Index Stability Indexes was assessed using a Tetrax device The Self-Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs was utilized to identify neuropathic pain
