Objective: To define further the relation between unipedal stance testing and peripheral neuropathy.Design: Prospective cohort.Setting: Electroneuromyography laboratory of a Veterans Affairs medical center and a university hospital.Patients: Ninety-two patients referred for lower extremity electrodiagnostic studies.Main Outcome Measures: A standardized history and physical examination designed to detect peripheral neuropathy. 3 trials of unipedal stance, and electrodiagnostic studies.Results: Peripheral neuropathy was identified by electrodiagnostic testing in 32%. These subjects had a significantly shorter (p < .001) unipedal stance time (15.7s, longest of 3 trials) than the patients without peripheral neuropathy (37.1s). Abnormal unipedal stance time (
