About this trial
The purpose of this study is to 1) examine the differences in walking function and movement patterns between individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and healthy adults with no known conditions; 2) examine if receiving feedback on walking form will help change walking patterns; and 3) examine the feasibility, safety, and preliminary effects of walking training with feedback on walking function in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
