3 Fig. 2 Sole of the foot in (A) nonperipheral neuropathy center of mass displaced during inversion or eversion is perceived before it moves outside of the functional base of support. Unipedal stance is maintained. (B) In peripheral neuropathy, afferent deficit allows more displacement without perception because weakness reduces the functional base of support. The center of mass moves past the functional base of support before movement is perceived. Unipedal stance is lost.
