Walking test study for nerve damage in diabetes feet
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people with diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) can walk, using a treadmill and walking distance tests. It may help improve understanding of walking limits and how to measure change over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 45 or older
- You can walk 10 meters by yourself without a cane, walker, or other device
- You must be medically safe enough to walk on a treadmill for 1 minute
- You have diabetes and your doctor diagnosed diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the feet)
- Your foot exam must have been done in the last 6 months and your doctor clears you to join
- No prior major foot/leg procedures or conditions that could change walking (like amputation, ulcers, Charcot disease, or joint replacement)

This study tests a special biofeedback system to help people with diabetic nerve damage walk better. You'll use sensors during treadmill walking to see if real-time feedback can improve your stride and balance.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help improve movement problems caused by nerve damage from type 2 diabetes. If you have diabetic nerve pain in your feet or legs)Skip the training, this program may help you move better and reduce symptoms.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve symptoms and quality of life for people with diabetic nerve damage in their feet. It may help reduce pain and improve balance.
This study tests whether special sensory training exercises can improve your balance, walking, and daily physical function if you have type 2 diabetes with nerve damage in your feet. You will do supervised exercises and the researchers will measure how you move and balance before and after.
This study compares two exercise programs (Otago and Beat it) to see which one better improves balance, walking, and quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet. If you join, you'll do one of these programs and help scientists learn which is more effective.
This study looks at how well blood sugar is controlled in people with diabetes-related nerve damage, and measures how nerve signals travel through the leg. The goal is to understand whether better blood sugar control helps improve nerve function.
