INTRODUCTION: Diabetic neuropathy leads to decrease in postural control implies in risk of falls in neuropathic individuals. The BBS is the most widely used and validated instrument for assessing balance performance. AIM: To study test-retest reliability of berg balance scale in patient with diabetic neuropathy METHOD: A total number of 5 patients with diabetic neuropathy were included in this study. Each participant’s recorded performance of the berg balance scale was scored independently by the rater on 1st day and 3rd day. RESULTS: As per Cronbach’s alpha calculated for berg balance scale is with mean of 34.60 and SD  7.82 and 38.80 with SD 1.28.Test-retest reliability for this test is good as per following Cronbach’s alpha.
