Evaluation of Ankle Joint Position Sense in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Peripheral Neuropathy by Isokinetic Dynamometer.

Background: Proprioceptive disorders may occur when thick fibers are affected in diabetic neuropathy. This can lead to impaired joint stabilization and increased risk of falls and fractures. We evaluated joint position sense (JPS) in diabetic patients to detect those at risk for neuropathy earlier.
