Diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy demonstrate a relative deficit in their ability to maintain posture. Posturography allows an early disclosure of the failure of postural control.
Although diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy show a delay in central sensory conduction, postural instability may be fully explained by the presence of peripheral neuropathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
