| Popis: | Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the upper extremity functions of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to compare them with those of healthy subjects. Methods: Thirty six diabetic participants (mean age: 55.05±5.85 years; 21 female, 15 male) and thirty six healthy participants (mean age: 53.52±7.74 years; 20 female, 16 male) were evaluated in this study. A hand dynamometer was used to examine grip strength of the participants. Upper extremities endurance was evaluated by using the Unsupported Upper Limb Exercise Test (UULEX). Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand Test (DASH-T) was used to determine upper extremity disability level. Results: Diabetic participants evaluated in this study showed lower scores in terms of upper extremity endurance (p0.05) Conclusion: In individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is a significant decrease in upper extremity endurance and an increase in the level of upper extremity disability level. |
