Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a chronic systemic disease linked to changes in lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors, causing complications such as peripheral diabetic neuropathy (PDN). In addition, people with DM2 have a delay in nerve conduction in motor and sensory pathways, which can lead to changes in balance. OBJECTIVE: To describe static balance changes in patients with DM2. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The systematic review started in October 2021 with the last search occurring in March 2023, the articles were selected by two authors independently from the Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Following the protocol registered in PROSPERO and described based on the PRISMA recommendations, observational studies were selected without restriction on year of publication and language, involving DM balance at any age. RESULTS: 20 articles were chosen with DM and NPD individuals in a total of 1564 volunteers, demonstrating that DM causes changes in the speed and displacement of the COP, altering the static balance and the presence of NPD worsens body stability due to sensory-motor changes. CONCLUSION: Individuals with DM and NPD demonstrate changes in postural stability such as velocity and displacement of the center of pressure (COP) for the AP and ML directions, with or without visual information and in the presence of DPN.
