Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •To be included in the study, participants must:
- •(i)be aged over 18 years;
- •(ii)be able to ambulate household distances without a walking aid (justification \- this is to ensure they can safely perform the walking tests);
- •(iii)have symptoms consistent with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (defined as a Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom Score of \>0;
- •(iv)have physical examination findings consistent with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (defined as being unable to detect a 5\.07/10 g Semmes\-Weinstein monofilament at at least one of three sites on the foot: hallux, 1st metatarsophalangeal joint and 5th metatarsophalangeal joint, and have a vibration perception threshold \>25 V using the biothesiometer
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participants will be excluded if they:
- •(i)currently have a plantar foot ulcer;
- •(ii)have had an above\- or below\-knee amputation;
- •(iii)have a lower extremity neurological abnormality other than diabetic peripheral neuropathy;
- •(iv)have a neurodegenerative disease (such as Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease;
