Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dual-task training on balance, exercise capacity, cognitive function, and quality of life in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). As a result of this study, it is hoped that dual-task training will be an alternative to single-task training in the rehabilitation of individuals with Type 2 DM, with the goal of preventing falls and supporting a more active lifestyle. Additionally, it is intended to include dual-task training in preventive physiotherapy approaches. The main questions the study aims to answer are as follows: Is dual-task training, conducted concurrently with exercise training, more effective in improving balance when compared to exercise training alone and the control group? Is dual-task training, conducted concurrently with exercise training, more effective in improving exercise capacity, cognitive function, and quality of life when compared to exercise training alone and the control group? The researchers will compare the effects of dual-task training in individuals with Type 2 diabetes by comparing the participants in the single-task exercise training group and the control group. Participants will be randomized into the dual-task exercise training group, the single-task exercise training group, and the control group. Individuals in the training group will undergo exercise training three days a week for 8 weeks.

Interventions

OTHERdual task exercise group

Dual task exercise group Patients in the dual-task training group will undergo 60-minute conventional physiotherapy sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. Each physiotherapy session will consist of aerobic exercise, strengthening exercises, and balance training. In addition, cognitive exercise training will be incorporated into each session, performed concurrently with the conventional physiotherapy. The cognitive exercises provided in this study are structured to target areas such as memory, verbal fluency, executive functions, calculation, and attentioN Single task exercise group Patients in the single-task training group will undergo 60-minute conventional physiotherapy sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. Each physiotherapy session will consist of aerobic exercise, strengthening exercises, and balance training.

OTHERsingle task group

Single task exercise group Patients in the single-task training group will undergo 60-minute conventional physiotherapy sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. Each physiotherapy session will consist of aerobic exercise, strengthening exercises, and balance training.
