Innovative Multi-Variable Biofeedback for Improving Gait Performance in Individuals With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

🩺 Protocol Summary

This study aims to collect data to improve gait function in individuals with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN). The primary goals are to evaluate: * Biomechanical mechanisms contributing to abnormal plantar pressure and propulsion during gait in individuals with DPN * Biofeedback-induced changes in plantar pressure, propulsion, and biomechanics during gait in individuals with DPN The participants will be required to complete * Questionnaires * Clinical examination * 3-Dimensional gait analysis on an instrumented treadmill * Visual and auditory biofeedback on the participant's propulsion and plantar pressure metrics provided by a projector screen during walking

💰 Clinical Trial Costs & Insurance Coverage

Coverage for clinical trial participation varies depending on your health insurance policy, state legislation, and whether specific procedures are investigational research or routine medical care. Under federal law (Affordable Care Act § 2709), health insurers generally cannot drop coverage or refuse to pay for routine patient care costs incurred in approved clinical trials.

💡 Always ask the study coordinator for the trial's official Informed Consent Form, which outlines all sponsor-funded research items versus procedures billed to your insurance.
