Summary

The goal of our research titled "The effect of the exercise program developed for the upper extremity in diabetic individuals on dexterity, grip strength and proprioception" is to examine the effect of the exercise program created for upper extremity problems in diabetic individuals on dexterity, wrist proprioception and upper extremity functionality. Secondary aims of our study; the exercise program created for upper extremity problems; to investigate the effects of grip strength, neuropathic pain, light touch, proprioception, muscle viscoelastic properties, anxiety and depression levels and quality of life of individuals.

The strength of different grip types will be measured, and an evaluation will be made in a short time from the muscle surface with a device called MyotonPro to determine the characteristics of the muscles in hands and arms. In addition to these, 6 separate questionnaires will evaluate the functionality of hands, wrists and upper extremities, pain level, satisfaction level, difficulty level in daily living activities, neuropathic pain problems, depression and anxiety levels and quality of life. In addition, different senses in the upper extremity and hand-wrist will be tested. These measurements will take 1 hour in total and will be repeated 3 times at 6-week intervals. Participant will divide on 2 groups and treatment group will perform exercises with physiotherapist and control group will take conventional physiotherapy program for diabetes. Comparison will be between groups.

Conditions

  • Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise

* Joints targeted by exercise; bilateral wrist, metacarpophalangeal, proximal and distal interphalangeal joints, elbow and shoulder joints. * The muscles targeted by the exercises; lumbricals, iinterosseals, thenar and hypothenar muscles, forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm supinators and pronators, elbow flexors and extensors, and shoulder girdle muscles. * Content of the exercises; There will be warm-up exercises, pinch grip, full grip, nerve and tendon gliding exercises, exercises that improve proprioception, functional exercises, strengthening exercises and stretching exercises.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy

For control group there will be aerobic exercise recommendation and resistive exercises focused on upper extremity.
