Summary

Peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes patients significantly impairs postural balance, as measured by gravicorder (GRAVICHART). This technology can detect early signs of balance issues in diabetic individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Diabetology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of peripheral neuropathy.
  • Peripheral neuropathy can affect motor control and balance.
  • Assessing postural sway is crucial for understanding diabetic complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the relationship between postural sway and peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes.
  • To determine if gravicorder (GRAVICHART) measurements correlate with electrophysiological findings and heart rate variability in diabetic patients.
  • To identify early indicators of postural balance impairment in type 2 diabetes.

Main Methods:

  • Posturography (GRAVICHART), electrophysiological tests, and heart rate variability analysis were conducted.

  • Subjects included 123 type 2 diabetic patients without neuropathy, 32 with neuropathy, and 55 healthy controls.
  • Patients with prior neurological dysfunction were excluded.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant correlations were observed between GRAVICHART parameters, electrophysiological tests, and heart rate variability.
    • Diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy showed increased envelope area and length per time on GRAVICHART.
    • No significant differences in GRAVICHART parameters were found between diabetic patients without neuropathy and healthy controls.

    Conclusions:

    • Type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy demonstrate impaired ability to maintain upright posture.
    • GRAVICHART is a valuable tool for detecting early-stage postural balance impairment in type 2 diabetes.
    • Postural sway assessment can aid in the comprehensive management of diabetic complications.
