•The inclusion criteria for both neuropathic groups were: Diabetes Type 1 or 2 with more than five years since onset, and a score higher than six on the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument questionnaire (MNSI-q) for symptoms related to the diabetic neuropathy (Feldman et al., 1994). Additionally, subjects were required to have a minimum of two areas where they did not recognize or feel the touch of a 10-g monofilament during tactile perception testing (Frykberg et al., 1998). For inclusion in the neuropathic group with previous ulceration on the plantar surface, the patients were required to present a history of a foot ulceration within the last year that at the time of the evaluation was healed.

•Subjects were excluded if they were over 65 years of age; presented hallux amputation or partial amputation of the foot, except toes; major foot shape alterations by visual inspection, orthopedic disorders of the lower limbs; pain during the data acquisition; used any assistive devices for walking (walking sticks/canes); presented traumatic ulceration that could be immediately recognized by the subject; Charcot arthropathy had been confirmed by radiography, or had foot ulcers at the moment of the evaluation.
