The Instant Effect of Whole Body Vibration in Diabetics

Whole Body Vibration device may positively affect balance, dual-tasking and gait parameters by increasing the sensory input received under the sole in individuals diagnosed with diabetic foot. In individuals diagnosed with diabetic foot, the sensory/vibration perception threshold of individuals decreases due to the disease, so the balance of individuals is impaired. This may cause these individuals to experience gait disturbances in daily life. There are almost no studies in the literature on the use of whole body vibration for this patient group. This study will discuss the applicability of whole body vibration in the clinic for individuals diagnosed with diabetic foot and that it can be an additional adjunct to treatment.
