Patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy are
15X
more likely to experience
fall-related injuries4
when compared to healthy individuals.
43%
among patients with previously reported falls (p=0.004) at 26 weeks3
30%
of patients achieved normal fall risk status by 10 weeks2
59%
of participants achieved clinically meaningful improvements in gait function indicating reduced fall risk at 10 weeks3
After 90 days of Walkasins Use, Patients Have Reported5
Better awareness
of foot placement
More confidence to
engage in activities
Better overall
balance
