Abstract

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a highly prevalent and potentially debilitating disease linked to mobility and postural control impairments and movement dysfunction in goal-directed movements. Although different exercises have produced functional improvements in PN, recent evidence indicates that exercises like Tai Chi can alter the damaged sensory system and facilitate recovery of mobility and balance, potentially reducing the reliance on other people.
