Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by fasting hyperglycemia. It affects approximately 415 million people worldwide and involves a variety of complications. One of them is the loss of sensitivity to peripheral vibration.
Our study aims to discover the test-retest reliability of a procedure for assessing vibration sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
90 people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (56 men and 34 women) performed the vibration perception threshold (VPT) test using the Vibratron II device. A re-test was completed seven days after the first reading.
The relative reliability of the VPT test result is excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.96). The same applies to gender and obesity subgroups. Regarding absolute reliability, the standard error of measurement is 8.99%, and the small real difference is 24.94%.
The relative and absolute reliability results of the vibration perception threshold in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus offer excellent results.
糖尿病是一种以空腹高血糖为特征的慢性疾病。它影响着全球约 4.15 亿人，并涉及多种并发症。其中之一是对外周振动敏感性的丧失。
我们的研究旨在发现评估 2 型糖尿病患者振动敏感性的程序的测试-重测信度。
90 名 2 型糖尿病患者（56 名男性和 34 名女性）使用 Vibratron II 设备进行振动感觉阈值（VPT）测试。第一次读数后七天完成了重测。
VPT 测试结果的相对可靠性非常好（组内相关系数=0.96）。性别和肥胖亚组也同样如此。关于绝对可靠性，测量的标准误差为 8.99%，实际小差异为 24.94%。
2 型糖尿病患者振动感觉阈值的相对和绝对可靠性结果非常出色。
