不稳定和平衡障碍在糖尿病感觉神经病变患者中很常见，这使得他们在执行更具挑战性的日常任务时跌倒的风险更高。该报告描述了一名因长期糖尿病而患有神经病变的受试者的动态平衡测试结果。在使用或不使用踝足矫形器 (AFO) 的情况下进行计算机动态姿势描记术。该设备提供了六种测试条件，旨在系统地操纵前庭、体感或视觉信息。由于没有矫形器，患者在进行大部分测试时都摔倒了。双侧矫形器改善了他的平衡能力：得出的综合平衡得分提高了四倍。鉴于这些发现，AFOS 除了在运动过程中纠正患者的足部放置之外，还有望改善安静站立或动态扰动期间的平衡维持。
Instability and balance impairment is common in patients with diabetic sensory neuropathy placing them at a higher risk of falling when performing more challenging daily tasks. The report describes the results of a dynamic balance tests of a subject with neuropathy due to the long-standing diabetes. The Computerized Dynamic Posturography was performed with and without ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs). The apparatus provided six test conditions designed to systematically manipulate vestibular, somatosensory, or visual information. With no orthoses the patient had falls performing most of the tests. Bilateral orthoses improved his balance: a derived composite balance score increased four times. In view of these findings, AFOS, in addition to correcting the patient's foot placement during locomotion, could also be expected to improve the maintenance of balance during quiet stance or dynamic perturbation.
