abstract="PURPOSE: To evaluate the postural balance of type 2 diabetics with vertigo,  dizziness, and/or unsteadiness. <br><br>METHODS: limit of stability, pressure center  displacement area, and sway velocity of 20 patients with type 2 diabetes were  compared with 22 controls using the Balance Rehabilitation Unit (BRUTM, Medicaa)  posturography. <br><br>RESULTS: Compared to the control group, patients with type 2 diabetes  showed a significantly lower limit of stability and a significantly higher-pressure  center displacement area on a firm surface with eyes open, eyes closed, and  horizontal vestibular-visual interaction; and higher sway velocity on a firm surface  with eyes open and with eyes closed. <br><br>CONCLUSION: type 2 diabetics with vertigo,  dizziness, and/or imbalance compromised postural balance related to visual stimuli  and vestibular-visual interaction and moderate impairment in the quality of life.<p /> <p>Language: pt</p>",
