What this study is
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.
