Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► Older individuals with type 2 diabetes are at a high risk of falling than healthy people of a similar age. ► Persons at high risk of falling exhibited changes in postural motion compared to low-risk, healthy adults. ► Balance training resulted in a decline in falls risk for all older persons. ► With training, the postural motion of the older person with type 2 diabetes became more similar to the healthy adult.
