Keywords
Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Dual-task, Cognition
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.
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.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTone task
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.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTdual task
Dual task consists of single task plus tests of carrying glasses of water or counting backwards from a given number.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 10 meter walk test | one day | 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 |
| time up go test | one day | 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 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stroop test | one day | There are 5 sections in this test. Section 1 includes reading black text, section 2 includes reading colored words related to color names, section 3 includes saying the color of shapes, section 4 includes saying the color of words that are not color names, and section 5 includes saying the color of colored words that are color names. Individuals are asked to read from left to right as fast as possible. The time taken is recorded in seconds. |
| Dual task survey | one day | It is a test that questions the difficulties experienced by individuals during dual-task activities in daily life activities. The survey consists of 10 questions. The short duration of the survey is an advantage. The survey, which consists of 5 answers, is scored between 0 and 4. A score of ''4'' indicates that difficulties are experienced very often, ''0'' indicates that there is no difficulty. |
