Postural sway serves as a predictive biomarker in balance and gait assessments for diabetic peripheral neuropathy screening: a community-based study
Balance and gait impairments are prevalent among participants with DPN. This study supports the integration of balance and gait assessments into community-based screening protocols to facilitate early identification and intervention. Postural sway velocity emerged as a practical early biomarker for the screening of DPN.
