AB  - BACKGROUND: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of 
      type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that predisposes the elderly to a higher falls 
      risk. Falls prevention programs with a component of weight-bearing exercises are 
      effective in decreasing future falls in the elderly. However, weight-bearing 
      exercise was only recently recommended in guidelines for exercise for people with 
      T2DM and DPN. Since then, there have been an increasing number of studies to 
      evaluate the effectiveness of falls prevention programs on this targeted 
      population. OBJECTIVES: A systematic literature review was undertaken to 
      determine the effectiveness of falls prevention programs for people with T2DM and 
      DPN. MAJOR FINDINGS: Nine published studies that investigated the effect of 
      exercise training on falls risk among people with T2DM and DPN were included in 
      the review. Interventions included lower limb strengthening, balance practice, 
      aerobic exercise, walking programs, and Tai Chi. CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary 
      evidence presented in this review suggests that people with T2DM and DPN can 
      improve their balance and walking after a targeted multicomponent program without 
      risk of serious adverse events. There is insufficient long-term follow-up data to 
      determine whether the improvements in balance or strength resulted in a decrease 
      falls risk in the community setting.
