Proprioception training, vestibular training, lower limb strength training and mixed sports training could enhance balance and reduce its risk of falling in elderly with DPN from different aspects, were worthy of further promotion and application. When the therapist applies the balance training to elderly patients with DPN, they should focus on the features of different kinds of balance training. Due to the safety and effectiveness, Proprioceptive training can be applied to moderate to severe neuropathy in elderly patients. Vestibular training is more suitable for younger DPN patients, when is applied to elderly patients, we should pay attention to their safety, and should choose low-intensity training. Weight training could significantly improve the lower limbs of patients with DPN walking ability, and relatively more effective than non-weight training, should be combined with to enhance the effect of its reduced risk of falls in elderly with DPN, and there are more ample evidence that mixed training are relatively more effective in improving balance function, reducing its fall in elderly with DPN. Simultaneously, we should combine its own characteristics in elderly with DPN to enhance the effectiveness of balance training from the motion in the form, duration, adherence, and so on.
