Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate ultrasonographic measurements of the lower extremity nerves in patients diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy and to investigate the relationship with gait, static and dynamic balance performance. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasonographic findings of lower extremity nerves on quality of daily life, physical activity, gait and balance in patients with diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy.
