Association Between Knee Joint Position Sense and Fall-Risk in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Without Clinically Detectable Peripheral Neuropathy: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract “Correlation Between Knee Joint Position Sense and Fall Risk in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Without Peripheral Neuropathy,” aimed to investigate the relationship between knee proprioceptive accuracy and fall-related functional outcomes in adults aged 40–65 years with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) without clinically detectable peripheral sensory neuropathy. This cross-sectional correlational study included 66 participants, whose knee joint position sense was assessed using a universal goniometer at target angles of 15° and 45°. Functional mobility, balance, and concern about falling were evaluated using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Falls Efficacy Scale–International (FES-I), respectively. The results demonstrated a strong positive correlation between knee JPS error and TUG time (r = 0.742), a moderate negative correlation with BBS scores (r = −0.493), and a moderate positive correlation with FES-I scores (r = 0.455), with all correlations statistically significant (p < 0.001). The findings suggest that greater knee proprioceptive error is associated with slower functional mobility, poorer balance, and greater concern about falling, highlighting the potential value of assessing knee joint position sense during physiotherapy evaluation in adults with T2DM.
Keywords Type 2 diabetes mellitus; proprioception; joint position sense; knee; balance; functional mobility; falls efficacy.
