The Effect of Whole Body Vibration Therapy on Muscle Oxygenation in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

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.
