Unidad de Investigación Médica en Otoneurología, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Ciudad de Mexico 06720, Mexico.
Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the effects of individual factors and multiple sensory inputs on the balance (postural sway) of 69 adults, including 48 with type 2 diabetes and 21 healthy individuals.
- Various evaluations, like physical activity levels and strength, alongside environmental conditions, were examined to understand their relationship with balance issues.
- The findings revealed that adults with diabetes experience different balance challenges based on their condition, indicating the need for tailored rehabilitation programs.

Unidad de Investigación Médica en Otoneurología, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Planta Baja del Edificio C-Salud en el Trabajo del Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, Avenida Cuauhtémoc 330, 06720 Colonia Doctores, DF, Mexico.
Aim: To assess the influence of peripheral neuropathy, gender, and obesity on the postural stability of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Methods: 151 patients with no history of otology, neurology, or orthopaedic or balance disorders accepted to participate in the study. After a clinical interview and neuropathy assessment, postural stability was evaluated by static posturography (eyes open/closed on hard/soft surface) and the "Up & Go" test.

April 2009
Hospital Regional 72, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Estado de México, Mexico.
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 standardized program of vestibular rehabilitation (Cawthorne & Cooksey exercises).
Methods: Twenty patients with peripheral vestibular disease participated in the study (mean age 56+/-7.8 years), 10 with and 10 without peripheral neuropathy (age matched).

January 2006
Hospital Regional 72, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.
Objective: To assess and compare the accuracy to perceive visual verticality, with and without trunk-head tilt in the frontal plane (30 degrees), in patients with peripheral or central vestibular disease.
Methods: Thirty eight patients accepted to participate, 23 with peripheral disease and 15 with central disease. We also evaluated 40 healthy subjects.
