Detailed description

This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of dual-task performance on hand functions in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The study will conduct in the Internal Medicine Clinic of Kutahya Health Sciences University Evliya Celebi Training and Research Hospital. Approval for the study was granted by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Kutahya Health Sciences University and written informed consent forms will be obtained from all the participants. This study is planned to reach at least 50 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus for the study group and 50 participants without diabetes for the control group. The participants will be questioned about their eligibility for the inclusion criteria. The demographic and descriptive data of the participants will be recorded. Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test will be used to evaluate upper extremity functions. The test will be performed with and without the dual-task. Counting backward from a random three-digit number 3 by 3 will be used for the dual-task. The effect of dual-task will calculate using the difference between the completion time of both tests for both groups.
