Summary

Diabetes mellitus type II (DMII) causes many complications, including retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy. These complications are well understood and believed to contribute to gait instability and increase the risk of falls. Poor balance control and increased falling risk have also been reported in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

Patients with DPN are at an increased risk of falling due to the decreased proprioceptive feedbacks. Effective balance training should improve instabilities of postural control in patients with DPN. For this purpose, evaluations and balance training was designed.

The goal of our study was to establish values for proprioception, balance, muscle coordination and strength in patients with DMII, who underwent biofeedback balance training using the Biodex Balance System.
