Abstract

As globally increasing diabetic population with an early onset is associated with obesity and musculoskeletal disorders. India, being the diabetic capital, diabetic core with major focus on musculoskeletal disorders such as lowback ache, osteoarthritis, neck and shoulder ailments remain unfocussed.

This original research aims at 1. Analyzing the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among diabetic subjects 2. Evaluate the rate of obesity and 3. To overview various physical therapeutic means of treating MSD related disorders among Type II diabetic

Materials and Methodology: 300 known type II diabetic subjects of both sex of all age groups   were recruited from Chennai were evaluated analyzed for BMI, WC, Lowback ache, osteoarthritis knee, shoulder and neck ailments. This study was conducted during the period of 2013-2016 where special diabetic camps were organized.

The results were analyzed, tabulated using due statistical means. 22% low backache, 20% with osteoarthritis knee, 18% shoulder and neck ailments with male at 54% and mean BMI of 27.5 kg/m2

Conclusion: an evaluation of MSD among type II diabetic mellitus, a non focused area in diabetic care was given an insight in this original research report for further planning prevention and improve QOL of diabetic subjects.

Keywords: Lowback Ache, Osteoarthritis, Quality of Life, Musculoskeletal Disorders, Body Mass Index.
