Influence of an irregular surface and low light on the step variability of patients with peripheral neuropathy during level gait (2005)
Journal Article
Thies, S., Richardson, J., DeMott, T., & Ashton-Miller, J. (2005). Influence of an irregular surface and low light on the step variability of patients with peripheral neuropathy during level gait. Gait & Posture, 22(1), 40-45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2004.06.006

Patients with peripheral neuropathy (PN) report greater difficulty walking on irregular surfaces with low light (IL) than on flat surfaces with regular lighting (FR). We tested the primary hypothesis that older PN patients would demonstrate greater s...
