NOOHU, MOHD.YAKUB SHAREEF, AND M. EJAZ HUSSAIN The lack of proprioception in patients with peripheral neuropathy, including that caused by diabetes, is a common finding in many of our patients. In this study, the authors are able to correlate sensorimotor training with increases in overall stability and particularly in muscles that stabilize the ankle. This may be the perfect time to team up with a local physical therapist to utilize their expertise. The increased stability may make it possible for the patient to tolerate your treatment, thereby reducing the negative effects of the disease on the foot. A win for everyone!
