The effect of foot somatosensory loss in postural control during Functional reach test in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy: A controlled study.

Background: In patients with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN), differences in postural control due to losing the lower limb somatosensory information were reported. However, it is still unclear by which mechanisms the dynamic postural instability is caused.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate postural control differences and neuromuscular adaptations resulting from foot somatosensory loss due to DPN.

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Toddlers' Regional Foot Pressure Distribution and Center of Pressure at Antero-Posterior Axis During Learning of Standing.

We investigated quiet stance of newly standing toddlers every three months (trimesters) of their second year of life. Their anteroposterior center-of-pressure (CoPx) velocity and centroidal frequency (CFREQ: 2.36 ± 0.
