Balance performance FE, social participation and QoL between individuals with T2DM with and without VD

The performance of balance is an important factor to perform activities. The complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially vestibular dysfunction (VD) could decrease balance performance and falls-efficacy (FE) which consequently impacts social participation and quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to compare balance performance, FE, social participation and QoL between individuals with T2DM with and without VD

平衡能力是开展各类活动的重要影响因素。2型糖尿病（type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM）的并发症，尤其是前庭功能障碍（vestibular dysfunction, VD），可降低患者的平衡能力与跌倒自我效能感（falls-efficacy, FE），进而对社会参与能力及生活质量（quality of life, QoL）造成负面影响。本研究旨在对比合并与不合并前庭功能障碍的2型糖尿病患者的平衡能力、跌倒自我效能感、社会参与能力与生活质量。
