Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the dual task performances of individuals with and without type 2 diabetes. Thus, it will be concluded whether having type 2 diabetes affects dual task performance.

Detailed description

In our daily lives, we often have to juggle many tasks simultaneously. Performing two tasks simultaneously is called dual-tasking. The ability to perform two tasks simultaneously is called dual-tasking performance. Dual-tasking performance can decrease in individuals with diabetes due to complications of diabetes. This study compared the dual-tasking performance of individuals with type 2 diabetes and healthy individuals using dual-tasking tests categorized as easy, medium, and difficult.

Conditions

• Type II Diabetes Mellitus
• Dual Task Cost
