Identifying neuropathies through time series analysis of postural tests.

Background: In physical therapy, postural tests are frequently used to diagnose neuropathies, particularly in diabetic individuals. This study aims to develop a method based on the analysis of time series that allows discriminating between healthy and diabetic subjects with or without a neuropathic condition.

Research Question: Do features obtained from time series corresponding to postural tests allow us to reliably discriminate between healthy, diabetic and neuropathic patients?

Methods: In this study, 32 people participated in the healthy, diabetic, and neuropathic categories (11, 9, and 12, respectively).
