Individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are at greater risk for falls than their healthy counterparts due to loss of sensation in the lower extremities, specifically, the plantar surface of the foot. Oftentimes, a resulting complication of DPN is an increase in plantar pressures, typically underneath the metatarsal heads (MTH). This increased pressure negatively alters gait patterns and balance control. This adjustment to gait may shift the center of pressure (COP) and impair an individual’s ability to avoid a fall. The purposes of this study were to (1) determine whether differences were evident in peak plantar pressure during gait between individuals with a history of falling, with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and (2) determine whether differences in lateral deviation of the center of pressure also existed between these two groups. Seventeen participants with DPN (age 50-80 years) and 17 non-DPN participants (age 60-80 years) were recruited for this study from senior centers and local YMC As. Of the 17 participants with DPN, 13 individuals were obtained from secondary data analysis obtained from a similar study conducted at the Veteran Affairs (VA) Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. Testing was conducted with the use of the Novel Pedar insole and software system. Data was collected based on peak pressures under the metatarsal heads (MTH):​ 1st metatarsal head (Ml), 2nd-4th metatarsal heads (M2-4), and 5th metatarsal head (M5), and lateral deviation from the center of pressure during gait. There were no significant findings between groups based on peak pressures under the MTH or lateral deviation of the center of pressure. However, within the non-DPN group, peak pressure across the M2-4 region was significantly higher (Average ± SD:​ DPN:​ 35.69 N/cm² ± 3.33 N/cm²;​ non-DPN:​ 38.48 N/cm² ± 7.45 N/cm²;​ p = 0.034)
