The purpose of the present study is the active participation of the students of specialty "Medical rehabilitation and ergotherapy" in the implementation of rehabilitation activities at the Diabetes Center -Stara Zagora, in elderly people with type 2 diabetes. Material and methods. The subject of the study is 120 diabetic patients at the Diabetes Center -Stara Zagora with different types of diabetes. Methodology of the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed, a specialized test for daily activities (DA Test, with a six-step assessment from 0 to 5) and a Quality of Life Test. The tests were applied to 120 diabetic patients before and after rehabilitation. Results and discussion. The correlation between influencing the physical and mental health of patients is positively significant (R = 0.61, p <0.05). This is an evidence of the incomparable influence of motor activity on the quality of life of diabetic patients. These results motivate the participation of students in the practical training, which is a factor that ensures the improvement of the quality in the real working environment. Conclusions and conclusions: The implementation of complex rehabilitation in patients with diabetes type 2 requires prolonged activities in specialized rehabilitation centers to stimulate motor activity and social integration; to achieve good results in the rehabilitation of diabetic patients and to improve self-care, it is essential to start early, to include work and training in self-sustaining activities from everyday life, Ergotherapy and art therapy stimulate patient autonomy.
Тhe purpose of the present study in analysis of the results of a study of motor activity and activities of daily living in adults with diabetes at the Diabetes Center - Stara Zagora, in elderly people with type 2 diabetes. The subject of the study is 120 diabetic patients at the Diabetes Center - Stara Zagora with type 2 diabetes.The exercises are for one year with consecutive group work twice a week by the students during the clinical practice. Methodology of the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed, a specialized test for daily activities .(DA Test, with a six-step assessment from 0 to 5) and a Quality of Life Test. The correlation between influencing the physical and mental health of patients is positively significant (R = 0.61, p <0.05). This is an evidence of the incomparable influence of motor activity on the quality of life of diabetic patients. These results motivate the participation of students in the practical training, which is a factor that ensures the improvement of the quality in the real working environment, guarantees the consolidation of the acquired professional competences and the successful professional realization of the students.
