Introduction Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a prevalent complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with major impact on the health affected patient. We hypothesized that mediated by dysfunctionalities associated DN’s three components: sensitive (lack motion sensory), motor (impairments in movement coordination) and autonomic (the presence postural hypotension), DN may impair balance patients. Our study’s main aim to evaluate possible association between severity both impairment risk falls...
