[Diabetic peripheral neuropathy: reflections and drug-rehabilitative treatment]

29 Jun 2009 About 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes have some neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy can be classified as peripheral, autonomic, proximal, focal and multifocal or mixed. Peripheral neuropathy, the most common type of diabetic neuropathy, causes ... Read more...

Motor learning of a gait pattern to reduce forefoot plantar pressures in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

29 Apr 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of visual feedback in the reduction of plantar pressures through teaching a "new" gait pattern to diabetic peripheral neuropathy subjects. Immediate, next day, and 1-week retention were studied to determine if motor ... Read more...

Diabetic polyneuropathy may increase the handicap related to vestibular disease.

30 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We undertook this study to assess the influence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy on self-reported disability and postural control during quiet stance of patients with peripheral vestibular disease, before and after a ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Diabetic Neuropathies'

Definition: Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1325)
