Brief 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.

Conditions

Type II Diabetes Mellitus; Dual Task Cost

Keywords

Type II Diabetes Mellitus; Dual-task; Cognition

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• 10 meter walk test

  The dual task cost was calculated to measure dual task performance by applying the 10-meter walking test as single and dual tasks. This cost will be calculated as follows: (Dual task performance-single task performance)/ single task performance x100

  one day

• time up go test

  The dual task cost was calculated to measure dual task performance by applying the time up go test as single and dual tasks. This cost will be calculated as follows: (Dual task performance-single task performance)/ single task performance x100

  one day

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Stroop test

  one day

• Dual task survey

  one day

Study Arms (2)

type II diabetes mellitus group

Dual task tests were applied to the group with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Diagnostic Test: one task; Diagnostic Test: dual task

Healthy group

Dual task tests were administered to the healthy group

Diagnostic Test: one task; Diagnostic Test: dual task

Interventions

one task DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Single task tests consist of measuring walking times with normal walking (easy), walking with a 50% reduction in the base of support measured between the medial malleoli (medium difficulty) and tandem walking (difficult) tasks while applying the 10 meter walk test and time up go tests.

Healthy group; type II diabetes mellitus group

dual task DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Dual task consists of single task plus tests of carrying glasses of water or counting backwards from a given number.

Healthy group; type II diabetes mellitus group
