About 2.4% of the population is affected by peripheral neuropathy. The prevalence increases to 8% in older populations. Peripheral neuropathy can be a manifestation of a wide range of pathologies that require further evaluation or treatment. Furthermore, peripheral neuropathies must be addressed before they result in complications, such as falls with subsequent hip fractures or pedal infections necessitating amputation. Interprofessional team members must recognize and evaluate peripheral neuropathy so that any underlying cause can be addressed and complications can be prevented, improving patient outcomes. This activity highlights considerations when evaluating and treating patients with peripheral neuropathies and demonstrates the critical role that interprofessional care teams play in caring for patients suffering from peripheral neuropathies.
