Whole Body Vibration Therapy in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes, Whole Body Vibration, Muscle Oxygenation, Aerobic Exercise

In brief

The aim of this interventional study is to investigate the effect of whole body vibration therapy on muscle oxygenation, vibration sensation, functional capacity and balance in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. The main questions aimed to be answered are: * Does whole body vibration therapy affect peripheral muscle oxygenation? * Does whole body vibration therapy improve vibration sense, functional capacity and balance compared to aerobic exercise? Participants' muscle oxygenation, vibration sensation, functional capacity and balance parameters will be assessed. They will participate in a whole body vibration therapy or aerobic training program.
