Balance Control and Recovery in Diabetes Peripheral Neuropathy
Sponsor: Lisa Griffin
Summary
In this study the effects of diabetic peripheral neuropathy will be assessed on balance control, balance recovery, and muscle electrical activity in adults over 50 years. Aim 1: Determine muscle activity and balance control during a sit-to-stand in adults age above 50 with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Aim 2: Assess local balance recovery and latency responses to lateral surface perturbation during quiet standing.
