Methods: This study was conducted on 42 adults. The participants were dividell into three groups; individuals with DPN and NP (DPN+NP), individuals with DPN without NP (DPN-NP), and the control group, respectively. The Force Plate system and Core Balance System measured static and dynamic postural balance and stability limits, Gail and dynamic plantar pressure distribution analyses were performed with a computerized gait evaluation system.
Results: No significant difference was observed between the groups in balance parameters (p>0.05). The right- left heel maximum forces were lower in both groups with DPN compared to the control group (p<0.05). In terms of spatiotemporal parameters of the gait, there was a difference between the groups only in step width and left single support line parameters (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the individuals with DPN have an increased step width, their left single support line was shortened, and the maximum' force on the heel decreased. The NP did not cause any change in balance and gait parameters.
