Assessing balance control in older adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) on balance control and muscle activity in adults over 50 years old. It aims to measure muscle activity during sit-to-stand transitions and assess balance recovery responses to lateral perturbations while standing. Participants will undergo various assessments, including muscle strength evaluations and sensory measures, to understand how DPN affects their balance and stability. The findings could provide insights into fall risks associated with DPN in older adults.
