Background: It has become a global issue due to the rapid rise in frequency of diabetes mellitus. Falling is more common among individuals who suffer from type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This might be brought on by neuropathy's impairment of sensory function. Diabetes problems including heart disease, blindness, renal disease, and depression are more common in women with diabetes than in males. For accurate neuromuscular control when making movements, proprioception is required. The proprioceptive feedback of the lower extremities, in addition to the ocular and vestibular senses, offer the essential sensory information required to maintain and manage posture. Proprioception, which includes sense of location, the vibratory perception, the sensorimotor input is lost, and improper motor response, is decreased in peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes.

 Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate knee proprioception among post-menopausal type II diabetic females

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study has opted to assess knee proprioception among post-menopausal type II diabetic females. A total of 369 participants were assessed through the joint position sense (JPS) technique. The frequency and cross-tabulation tests were analyzed through IBM SPSS. Results: This study was conducted on 369 post-menopausal females belonging to various professions with their consent to assess knee proprioception among post-menopausal type II diabetic females. The population’s mean age was found to be 57.15 years old. The population’s mean weight was found to 73.99 kg. The population’s mean height was 5.2144. The BMI of most females were overweight. 138 females have normal JPS of right knee while 231 females have abnormal (JPS) of right knee, 143 females have normal JPS of left knee and 226 females have abnormal JPS of left knee.

Conclusion: The observational cross-sectional study concluded that post-menopausal type II diabetic females have greater ratio of decrease knee proprioception in both right and left knee which can be due to degenerative changes.
