Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is believed to cause postural instability due to abnormal proprioception. We therefore assessed body sway in 4 groups of patients matched for age and sex: Group A: normal healthy controls (n=9); B: non-neuropathic diabetic subjects (n=9); C: diabetic neuropathy (n=14) and C: diabetic neuropathy + foot ulcer history (n=11). Postural sway control was assessed on a Kistler force plate using a Romberg test, measuring the standard deviation of the centre of pressure in both sagittal and frontal planes on 2 occasions, with the eyes open and closed. Analysis of variance was used to assess…
