Summary

This study tests two types of foot and ankle exercises to see which one better helps balance, walking, and fall risk in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the feet). Researchers will compare exercises for the small muscles in the foot with 3D ankle-foot exercises. The study involves 40 adults who have trouble with balance or have fallen recently. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to reduce falls and improve daily movement.
