Adaptation of Perturbation to Postural Control in Individuals with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.

The objective of this study was to analyze differences of postural characteristics between diabetics with peripheral neuropathy and diabetics without peripheral neuropathy. A learning effect of perturbation was found for diabetic peripheral neuropathy group in the posterior direction of perturbation during the first phase, which may indicate that it could be possible to design a postural control program for those people.
