Innovative Multi-Variable Biofeedback for Improving Gait Performance in Individuals With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (NCT06591780)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study aims to collect data to improve gait function in individuals with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN). The primary goals are to evaluate: * Biomechanical mechanisms contributing to abnormal plantar pressure and propulsion during gait in individuals with DPN * Biofeedback-induced changes in plantar pressure, propulsion, and biomechanics during gait in individuals with DPN The participants will be required to complete * Questionnaires * Clinical examination * 3-Dimensional gait analysis on an instrumented treadmill * Visual and auditory biofeedback on the participant's propulsion and plantar pressure metrics provided by a projector screen during walking
