This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is investigating how diabetic peripheral neuropathy—nerve damage caused by diabetes—affects your ability to balance and control your muscles during everyday activities like standing up from a chair or standing on an uneven surface. Researchers will measure your muscle activity, strength, and balance responses to understand the specific ways this condition impacts movement and stability.
About 30% of people with diabetes experience nerve damage in their feet and legs, which can lead to falls and feelings of instability. By studying how this condition affects muscle control and balance during common movements, researchers hope to better understand the problem and eventually develop better ways to prevent falls and improve recovery.

You will visit the research center once for testing that takes a few hours. The researchers will measure your body size and check the sensation in your feet, then place small surface sensors on your leg muscles using adhesive tape. You'll perform simple movements like sitting down and standing up from a chair, stand on a treadmill that moves slightly side to side while you hold a ruler, and have your leg muscle strength tested. All procedures are noninvasive and designed to measure how your body controls balance and movement.
