This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between cervicocephalic kinesthesia sensation and the incidence of falls in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM-2) experiencing cervical pain.
The research was conducted between January 1, 2022, and August 15, 2022. A total of 60 participants were included, with an average age of 26.03 ± 3.45 years and an average BMI of 21.4 ± 2.05 kg/m². Participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group of adults with DM-2 and cervical pain, and a control group without DM-2 but with cervical pain.
Head repositioning errors were significantly higher in the experimental group for right-side and left-side lateral flexion (P = 0.002). Forward flexion also showed a significant difference between groups (P = 0.006). However, no significant differences were observed between the groups in extension (P = 0.589). No considerable differences were noted in the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores between the groups.
Individuals with DM-2 experiencing neck pain exhibited minimal errors in head repositioning tests, yet no substantial alterations were evident in NDI and BBS scores.
本研究旨在评估2型糖尿病（DM - 2）合并颈部疼痛的成年人的颈-头运动觉与跌倒发生率之间的关系。
研究于2022年1月1日至2022年8月15日进行。共纳入60名参与者，平均年龄为26.03±3.45岁，平均体重指数为21.4±2.05kg/m²。参与者分为两组：患有DM - 2且颈部疼痛的成年实验组，以及未患DM - 2但有颈部疼痛的对照组。
实验组在右侧和左侧侧屈时的头部重新定位误差显著更高（P = 0.002）。前屈在两组之间也显示出显著差异（P = 0.006）。然而，两组在伸展方面未观察到显著差异（P = 0.589）。两组之间的伯格平衡量表（BBS）和颈部功能障碍指数（NDI）得分没有显著差异。
患有颈部疼痛的DM - 2个体在头部重新定位测试中表现出最小的误差，但NDI和BBS得分没有明显变化。
