Walking Function in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (NCT05965336)

Walking Function in Individuals With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Biomechanical Mechanisms and Implications for Clinical Outcomes and Gait Retraining

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to 1) examine the differences in walking function and movement patterns between individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and healthy adults with no known conditions; 2) examine if receiving feedback on walking form will help change walking patterns; and 3) examine the feasibility, safety, and preliminary effects of walking training with feedback on walking function in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
