Diabetic peripheral neuropathy compromises balance during daily activities

Diabetes Care
Steven J BrownNeil D Reeves

Abstract

Patients with diabetes with peripheral neuropathy have a well-recognized increased risk of falls that may result in hospitalization. Therefore this study aimed to assess balance during the dynamic daily activities of walking on level ground and stair negotiation, where falls are most likely to occur. Gait analysis during level walking and stair negotiation was performed in 22 patients with diabetic neuropathy (DPN), 39 patients with diabetes without neuropathy (D), and 28 nondiabetic control subjects (C) using a motion analysis system and embedded force plates in a staircase and level walkway. Balance was assessed by measuring the separation between the body center of mass and center of pressure during level walking, stair ascent, and stair descent. DPN patients demonstrated greater (P < 0.05) maximum and range of separations of their center of mass from their center of pressure in the medial-lateral plane during stair descent, stair ascent, and level walking compared with the C group, as well as increased (P < 0.05) mean separation during level walking and stair ascent. The same group also demonstrated greater (P < 0.05) maximum anterior separations (toward the staircase) during stair ascent. No differences were observed in D ...Continue Reading
