Balance Control and Recovery in Diabetes Peripheral Neuropathy (NCT06544876)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
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.
Who can join: Review the eligibility criteria below.
Location: The University of Texas at Austin — Austin, Texas
Age range: 50 Years to 99 Years
