MMM. B. MadsenDiabetes Australia DADeilany ArulanandamAalborg University CSChristina Lavín SvendsenAalborg University

Key Points

This research aims to examine the relationship between postural control and diabetic neuropathy in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Measured postural control using center of pressure (CoP) assessments under varying sensory and cognitive conditions.
Adjusted regression analyses for demographic factors and fall-associated medication.
Conducted exploratory analyses based on neuropathy subtype.
Diabetic neuropathy was associated with impaired postural control.
Variations in postural control outcomes were observed by neuropathy subtype.

Abstract

AIM: To examine postural control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without diabetic neuropathy (DN) using center of pressure (CoP) measures under varying sensory and cognitive conditions. METHOD: under different sensory and cognitive conditions. Regression analyses were adjusted for demographic factors, physical performance, and fall-associated medication. Exploratory analyses were performed by neuropathy subtype. RESULTS: . CONCLUSION: DN was linked to impaired postural control, with indications of differences by neuropathy subtype. CoP assessment may help identify people with T2DM at increased risk of falls.
