Standing balance and trunk position sense in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)-related peripheral neuropathy
A Goldberg, JW Russell, NB Alexander - Journal of the neurological …, 2008 - Elsevier
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) affect
a large segment of the population. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a common complication of
T2DM, leading to sensory and motor deficits. While T2DM-related PN often results in
balance-and mobility-related dysfunction which manifests as gait instability and falls, little is
known about balance capabilities in patients who have evidence of PN related to IGT (IGT–
PN). We evaluated patients with IGT–PN on commonly-used clinical balance and mobility …
